ET Company apologizes for inventing the computer and ruining your life graphic graphic graphic graphic NEW YORK (CNNfn) - The computer has ruined your life: It makes you work more, it beeps, flashes and hums all day long, occasionally breaks down on you, follows you everywhere and the final straw -- moves in with you, forcing you to do work at home. Wag the finger at the guys at Unisys who've finally stepped up to the plate after 50 years to say they are sorry for ruining our lives. But in the meantime, the laundry list of apologies Unisys published includes: --Making it impossible for anyone to do more than five minutes' worth of work without being interrupted by an e-mailed joke, Top Ten list, or chain letter; Unisys' tongue-in-cheek communiqu is no laughing matter. This is a huge anniversary for us, and it's not every day that that the children apologize for the acts of their parents," said Guy Esnouf, Unisys' vice president of communications. But computers went from planning war strategies to running games for kids.
