Is it possible that human beings have accidentally shaped the computer as an avatar of the human mind? The autonomic system (BIOS, Processor, Buses, Communication Protocols, etc), the subconcious (daemon programs, background processes, root-programs, etc) and the concious (GUIs, active programs and processes and real-time access to memory & data) minds are all represented...
Just a thought.

It's how we were taught about computer systems at school actually.
Really? I remember from my time in electrotech that they described computer systems more like a city's transit system... *shrug*
