A marketing director for a famous computer manufacturer was designing a new advertisement for his company. While researching consumers’ response to his product, he asked, “Ships are commonly referred to as ‘she’ or ‘her’. What gender （*别）would you give to your computer? Give four reasons to support your answer. ”

A large group of women reported that the computers should be referred to as “he” or “him” because:

①In order to get their attention, you have to turn them on.

②They have a lot of data, but are still hard to understand.

③They are supposed to help you solve problems, but half the time they are problems.

④As soon as you buy one, you realize that if you had waited a little longer, you could have had a better model.

The men, on the other hand, said that computers should be referred to as “she” or “her” because：

①The language they use to communicate with other computers is impossible to understand for most men.

②Even your smallest mistakes are stored in the long-term memory and will be remembered forever.

③As soon as you get one, you find yourself spending half your money on accessories (附件) for it.
