Panpsychism is the theory all matter has some element of consciousness. I think of it like this: consciousness is a field that permeates the universe–its there whether our bodies are or not. Our brains just evolved to be able to sense it (just as our eyes evolved to be able to sense light). So, the actionable information here is that, yes, it does make sense to beat up your computer if it crashes at a bad time. But remember to make your other appliances watch.
