I would say it depends on your occupation.


Tool: Take a picture of a non-computerized tool.

From dictionary.com

Something regarded as necessary to the carrying out of one's occupation or profession: Words are the tools of our trade.

But then again dictionary.com had a "Male" slang definition that would not be allowed to be submitted here :)

LOL

Cable strippers, crimpers, pullers, chip extractor, etc. There must be many choices for a computer technician.

Occupation is only one example, Hobby is another.

Hobby:

Photographer - Camera, Tripod, Lens or etc.
Cook - Stove, Skillet, Mixer, or etc.

"Tools of the trade" so to speak.

Why do I feel like I'am going to be shot down here like a flying duck?

LOL

Yeah that's exactly what came to mind for me when I saw this challenge.

Just be sure that the Cuisinart blender you are photographing doesn't have any semiconductors inside that make it "computerized"!

dictionary.com says: "tool: Something used in the performance of an operation; an instrument"

so, a clothes washing machine would be a clothes cleaning tool. i dont think this type of interpretation would score high on this site though. i think people will vote down this sort of idea and vote up tools as mentioned above (hammers, knives, etc.)

Ok... I have a stupid question. The rules say to take a photo of a non-computerized tool. That's tool, as a singular. Do you think photo's with multiple tools will be counted off? Like I said... stupid question.

I agree w/ the general - hard to count out plural when the cat. is itself.
