Computer software.

I wish we could shape the behavior of our computer software with operant conditioning.

Every time our 3-D design software took 1 or more minutes to complete a task, I would whack the cpu with a ruler.
Every time it responded quickly, I would reward it with praise (“good computer! good!”)

Maybe then, my 3-D design software would stop freezing up when I try to do simple functions like saving and opening files. Sometimes computers are far too frustrating.
