There are those who say the goddess of the computer is the motherboard. While I do not disagree, I also believe that Sophia is an important goddess invoked by the computer. We find Sophia (wisdom; derived from the Greek sophos meaning "wise") buried in among the many Wikipedia listings that are unattributed, in the online encyclopedias and dictionaries, the university information pages, and the millions of blogs and newspapers. What we need to understand is that not everything we read on the Internet is true, and we need to ask Sophia to help us see past the opinions, hearsay, and gossip to find the truths. Ask Sophia to guide you as you rummage through the Google entries when you are researching a paper or looking for information on the Web. Listen, because she will point out the well-documented information by showing you the footnotes and bibliographies you should be looking for.
