WebWord Weblog Posting Posting Date: June 30, 2002 What your computer says about you (BBC) -- "Your computer provides more than just physical clues to your personality. Ben Williams, psychologist Analysing the computer screen, the images you use or simply the way you organise your icons can reveal much about your inner desires and ambitions." (Comments: What you drive says a lot about you. What you wear says a lot about you. What you say says a lot about you. What you...yawn.)

"It could be that the person with not much on their desktop is naive about technology," said Mr Williams. "The person with a lot of whizz bang stuff is very technology aware. They know how to download these things, install them and store them." What a load of BS. Maybe a timid newbie has an ucluttered desktop, but then there's a huge "middle of the road" where the user has figured out how to download things, and when the program installs a start icon on the desktop, they just leave it there. Advanced users (as far as I can see) tend to weed out all the unused icons. (And if they're like me, tend to use the desktop as temporary storage for tons of files). A more meaningful thing to look at, under Windows, have they put frequently used icons in an accesible place, like the desktop, start menu, or little launch bar?
