I always laugh when I see the "get the 9 year old child to configure your email" gag. Mostly because it actually works.

Many years ago there was an article... somewhere. Don't remember. Anywho, the point of it is that yes, small children actually ARE better at using computers. Because they know how to follow simple directions. Telling an adult to double click the icon that says internet explorer can somehow magically get transformed into, well, you know. But most children tend to ACTUALLY DO IT. They actually look at the screen instead of the football game, and don't make judgement calls on what to click.

There are still ADD kids around, but they're much worse then your average idjit.

I think that it's more because they are growing up with the technology and don't have the same kind of "omg new and unfamiliar stuff i can't do this!" holdbacks that older users do.

A person's biggest impediment in accomplishing ANY given task is themselves.

Oh, my! You just made my day!
Got to love the 12 o clock flasher part. :-)

[calriddia.livejournal.com]

There are so many 12:00 flashers out there too. Makes me cry inside every time I have to talk one through his website. *sigh*

I hadn't seen the long version of this video. Was definatly awesome! Thank you!

I will have a smile on my face for the rest of the day, and no one will know why...

I once had to deal with such a tech-unsavvy person that their ANALOG Clock flashed 12:00!

I won't warn you a third time. Please to be stopping with the trolling, or I make with the bannination.

[hisamishness.livejournal.com]

Please - don't make us wait till tomorrow for the relief.

[jecook]

I'm still trying to decide if it's a sock puppet, a troll, or if he's really that incendiary.

I do know that I'm not going to put up with any more of his crap against fellow members.

[jecook]

ok, I'm convinced:

down, down it burns

PWNT!

[hisamishness.livejournal.com]

His LJ seems to be a forum to tell random people where to go. His posts here are similar. I doubt we'll have long to wait, should he continue replying.

12:00 flasher FTW.

And yes the iMac - "a special computer for mummies and daddies". Too true.

[geekgrrl-ca.livejournal.com]

and those of us that don't have to work on/fight their computer when they get home....

of course some people shouldn't even be on webtv never mind an iMac.
