A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

Give it a few years and the term "computer" might be superseded. We'll forget where the word originated.

Well, most people already forgot where it originated. That is from people whose job was to compute stuff by using tables, calculators and paper.
