ABSTRACT={The lack of reflection on iconography used in order to teach computer science is one of the reasons why its ontological status is continuously disputed. This article explains how and why animated diagrams of invertebrate animals help to teach mainly client/server systems and Unix system administration. While being in tune with the current methods of knowledge transmission, these diagrams represent a less distorted computer system than the unacceptable anthropologi-cal metaphor of a “computer brain”. These diagrams have been developed over the course of many years of experience teaching students in the areas of science and graphism. They are based on established dogma in science language and the necessity of research in subject didactical models.}}
