hi im a 34 year old male..But I always say thanks to the microwave say when it defrosts something for me or my washing machine when it washes my clothes..I feel technology is alive for some reason and needs to be respected... bare in mind ive had my washing machine for nearly 8 years with out any problems when my friends have going true 4 washing machines and when /I see the way their washing machines are kept im wondering am I right in respecting my Technology.My nanny was like this she had the same Philips washing machine that she bought in the 80s up until she died in 2002 and its still going today..I use avast anti virus even when it updates I thank the pc.. I feel if you love and respect your tecnolegy it will work perfectly for you, am I the only one whos like this..

    Sometimes when I'm at work, I find myself saying thankyou to the credit card machines when they print out the receipts.( I work on a till) I don't think any of the customers notice, but I laugh at myself for it alot. I think it's just because I get used to using good manners when talking to everyone around me there. Aha :) I don't see any problem in your extra polite-ness, any positivity can only be good I spose ! :)

    Call me crazy (and I am slightly...) but I think your stuff knows when it is appreciated, and works better when it knows it is.

    What a splendid idea:)

    I normally don't thank them for doing their job, but sometimes I feel like inanimate objects have feelings.

    Thank you, Machina.
