after working IT, i can attest they still don't know how to work anything

Yeah lol, I think our generation has the best advantage, we were kind of there at the start of it being mainstream in homes

there is a reason the first question is always "have you tried turning it on and off" and "is it plugged in"

My dad has been able to keep up, along with most of his gaming friends, but the vast majority of his generation doesn’t get it lol

YES!

i am honestly amazed at the number of people who can operate a smart phone and not know how to do ANYTHING related to technology. Truly a testament to the UI designers.

Thank you! See I tried explaining this to my dad, he was so mad when he gets asked if it’s plugged in and to try turning it off and on again; his generation is the reason lol

not just his generation

the number of people, of all generation, who call with a problem that was quickly fixed with turning it on or off, or checking if it has power

Yeah me too, my goddaughter can work a smartphone in and out, but to work anything else, she doesn’t know

No I know, I usually just say his Gen because for a lot it gets the point across

oh my mom was like that. She couldn't figure out how to work the damn TV remote, while me and my dad are the tech savvy people. Meanwhile she was the first one to get a smart phone and knew how to use it faster than me and my dad.

we just looked at each other and were like "what is wrong with this picture.'

Yeah it’s super weird! XD LOL

and yet, she would still turn to us when something went wrong and we are just like "the hell you want us to do? Do we look like apple repair?"

that’s like my mom, she can fix and work a printer, fax, scanner, and quite a few programs

Can’t remember how to save anything for the life of her

XD LMFAO!!!

>and then me and my dad got androids

You should get a shirt that says that and pull it out when she has an issue

Oh no

XD LMFAO!!!

See, I have an Apple phone, I have an android tablet, I have a windows comp, so I’m kind of all over the place when it comes to my tech and what I do know lol

Not to mention I have a Nintendo handheld as well as a collective range of gaming consoles lol

i just really can't stand apple. Not to say they don't make a decent product but just, there is too much of the cost related to the brand name and looks, all i see is waste

Yeah.

I would try out apple if they did a teired system and had more than just 1000 dollar phones.

Oh me too, the ONLY reason I got the apple phone was because I lost my other one, and they were giving me the phone for 50 if I opened a new line, which I had no choice to

So it was the cheapest at the time for me

i worked IT for my university and we got some Macs for the Arts and telecommunications departs. So while reading the manuals for change out a mount it said, i shit you not, "Do not remove these screws, **for cosmetics only**"

like ffs, don't put MORE screws in the fucking thing than it needs, god damn it

>.>;;;; that terrifying

Christ, I remember when if you put anything together and had extra parts, you had done something very wrong. Now they are doing it for shits and giggles
