👉 Perceived computing is like a high-tech magic trick where our brains play the role of magician and our devices are the mystical artifacts. We see them as omniscient, omnipresent, and always ready to assist us, but trust the trick? It's all just a convincing illusion. We're fooled into thinking our gadgets understand us better than we understand them, like a tech-savvy but confused squirrel who thinks it knows where all the nuts are in the world.
Example sentence: "The perceived computing prowess of my smartphone tells me I need a coffee break, but when I check the battery level, it's just saying I've been neglecting my own needs."
