Today alone, I ran across two brand new computer users. It irritates me when I see commenters on some of my YouTube videos and elsewhere on the web make fun of the fact that some people can’t copy and paste or create a table in Microsoft Word or perform any number of computer tips I teach through this site and via my instructional videos. Computers can be intimidating enough for someone new let alone have the added pressure of insensitive bafoons make snide comments about their skills. We all started at the beginning at some point in our computing lives and we all still need help from time-to-time with technology.
I wonder if these types of people would make the same kind of observations in person as they do on the Internet, or if the anonymity of the Internet makes them more boorish?
Thanks for addressing the idiots of the world that forgot they didn’t always have computer skills and knowledge. Cheers !
I wonder how many of these supposed computer geniuses would chock if you handed them a slide rule.
Unfortunately, they are probably uncouthed enough not to care what a slide rule is and whether or not they know how to use one.
Slide rule? Great response, Perhaps even better would be to show them an Eniac and tell them to program it.
again ,you read my thoughts exactly.
Have a cupla questions having to do with pdf.
I use the foxit reader for online use. I use a very old adobe acrobat program to actually USE the pdf files I’ve created.
2 Questions:
When I open a pdf file with pages (which I’ve created with my old program) the pages are viewed in reverse order in foxit reader. (they’re fine in adobe program viewer) – WHY?
I have Foxit reader 3.
To upgrade to 4, do I UNinstall 3 first?
Thank you,
