Does it make you mad when you type "levitate into the air" at a  
terminal, and you get "-bash: levitate: command not found" rather than  
a floating computer?  It doesn't have any nerves, it's not insulting  
you.  It has a program it's executing.  Learning to work within the  
limitations of those programs (or writing new programs when the  
limitations are too constraining) just comes with the territory.
