Anakin Reese Conn- Assignment 12

What used to be my favorite inanimate object was my laptop, as I would use it to do my homework and spend my free time browsing the internet.  From my laptop's point of view, it isn't moved around like a normal laptop, as the screen supports were broken a long time ago, so it will fall apart if moved from the desk in my room.  This post wasn't written from the laptop being discussed, but from a weaker secondary laptop.  I destroyed my old laptop when I attempted to overclock the speed multiplier to 2, but instead, I set it to 200 by accident, leading to the hard drive dying upon rebooting the laptop.  The hard drive is similar to a record player, and when I restarted my laptop, the record began to spin too fast, leading to the needle that reads the record getting lodged into the record itself, rendering the entire laptop useless.  
Before the laptop was destroyed, its existence was a helpless one, as it depended on the owner for electrical power, and only used that power to satisfy its owner.  Every active moment was a response to an input by the owner.  I had to support my laptop in other ways as well, such as using ice packs and fans to cool off the graphics card I surgically removed to cool independently, and rubber cement was used to hold the keyboard casing together, while clamps were used to hold the screen together, as when the screen supports broke, they split open the screen casing, leading to my need to keep it in place.  Through my attempts to improve my laptop, I promptly destroyed it, which reminds me of the quote from Jurassic Park, 
"Best intentions, some of the worst things imaginable have been done with the best intentions."
