Computer Years
Good dog, now read me my email aloud! (Image via.)
Most people are familiar with the concept of dog years – one human year equaling seven dog years. (Even though most professionals consider this to be a much too inaccurate scale.) So I wanted to propose a scale for another beloved pet – our computers. The mathematical formula has been described below.
Where A is the age of your computer in human years
It is equivalent to the following table:
| Human years | Computer years |
| 1 | 5 |
| 2 | 15 |
| 3 | 30 |
| 4 | 50 |
| 5 | 75 |
| 6 | 105 |
There is absolutely no scientific basis to this, other than my personal opinion on when an all-round computer gets old.
So, what do you all say? 🙂

Nyah, you’re too cruel. My mom’s 12 years old desktop is still pretty much alive. Well, the browser window opens and from time to time it even doesn’t crash… 🙂

I think that might prove my theory more than disapprove of it. xD
