driveism

"Driveism" can be understood as a form of discrimination or bias that involves prioritizing one storage drive over others based on arbitrary characteristics, similar to how racism prioritizes one race over others based on arbitrary traits like skin color or ethnicity.

In the context of computing, driveism could occur when an individual or organization prioritizes a certain storage drive over others for reasons that are not related to performance, capacity, or other objective measures. For example, a company might choose to use a certain brand of hard drive because they have a personal connection to the company or brand, rather than choosing the most reliable or cost-effective option.

This kind of driveism can have negative consequences, such as reduced performance, higher costs, or decreased reliability, if it leads to the selection of inferior or less suitable drives. It can also create an unfair advantage for certain companies or products, making it harder for newer or smaller players in the market to compete.

Overall, just as racism is an unjust and discriminatory practice that harms individuals and society, driveism can also be a harmful and unfair practice that can negatively impact the functioning of computer systems and the market for storage drives.
Despite the fact that there were more reliable and cost-effective options available, the IT manager's driveism led them to choose a certain brand of hard drive, causing slower performance and higher costs for the company.

Diversity

difference between cultures. Although I am a liberal i do agree it has been taken to an extreme. People don't understand that other people's cultures do not need to be forced upon others. All that is needed is simple recognition. Everyone should be allowed to do their thing whether it is christmas, kwanza, or whatever. The difference is they should not have to abolish their own culture to avoid hurting other groups feelings. Wehn you played with your barbies on the playground, if another kid didn't like your barbie, that didn't mean you had to throw it away did you? No! the other kid just didn't play with it
