2500 is way too long. I'd say 2010.

I used to think that it would only be a short time before PCs were simple enough to troubleshoot that I would be out of a tech support job by 2005, but here we are in 2008 and people still can't find the damn "any" key.
I still get told on almost a weekly basis by some user that they're not "computer literate", so they'll leave the complicated task of turning on the computer to the "IT guru".
“For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?”
You think that's bad, it was even worse in the Middle AgesOriginally Posted by Animeniax
I think it really just takes someone who can explain things in a logical way, or at least use effective analogies to describe the finer points to the people their trying to help. The worst thing is to just have them give up on you and do it themselves.But really, I think sometimes you need a tech who's not a full tech, but not as useless as the ones described in this thread. You need a proxy of some sort to relay infro from the tech guru to the general public granny. Today I was trying to explain torrent/pieces/seeds/port forwarding//UPnP to a bunch of girls. I can't say it was working.
<@Terra> he told me this, "man actually meeting terra is so fucking big", and he started crying. Then he bought me hot dogs
"Have you read the manual?" rofl
I can't access youtube, I'm not computer literate enough. What happens in the clip?

I actually said that to someone once as it came on the screen to press any key.
"Do you know where the 'any' key is?"
She was like "Oh, no, where is it?"
I laughed and said I was joking.
Wait does that crap actually happen, I can't believe this. I mean there is computer illiterate and then there is just illiterate.
Dreaming impossible dreams.
Sapphire is awesome!
Indeed. When you can't read a book, you're illiterate.
