    The first time I heard about that dude at Microsoft who wanted people to have to have a license to get on the internet, I thought it was the worst idea I had ever heard of.

    But now, I don't know.

    maybe he just thought the news article was dumb and he is going back to masturbating

    The end few pages of comments are.

    I suspect the first few pages of comments are genuine.

    If people don't want to use bookmarks, what is the problem? Bookmarks and tabs are just like keyboard shortcuts. They're awesome and quick and very convenient, but you don't need them.

    The entire internet? That's stupid. Go start an invite only forum if you want to be an elitist jackoff. The internet should trend towards facilitating populism.

    I mean, really.

    How many of you use ctrl + c to copy and ctrl + v to paste? How many of you just right click and hit copy? Or perhaps ctrl + esc to open the start menu? We're talking about the same thing here, just on slightly different levels.

    You're making an assumption that users are interested in learning things.

    Search for posts by mully in the jobs thread. Her coworker is the kind of people we're dealing with here, just 30 years younger.
    I'm still bashing my head into the wall. They might not need to or care at all but god damnit people. D:

    Do you know how your car works? Or how traffic lights are timed? Or how holding patterns at an airport are assigned, or how UPS gets a package to your doorstep, or how adenosine triphosphate is converted into adenosine diphosphate in every cell of your body?

    For the most part, you don't need to know how these things work. You may be interested, and you may seek to find out, but if you don't that's not a bad thing.

    oh yeah, for sure. I never had a problem with it unless on top of not knowing anything whatsoever they acted like they knew everything. Like straight up boasting about years of "computer experience" and being insulted about me explaining how to get to cmd or whatever.

    I'd much rather have to explain in ridiculous detail where the start button is than have some guy try to find "run" in his windows folder and getting angry at me for not being able to help him quickly enough with such a simple problem

    I don't drive often, or get packages sent to me all the time.
    I get your point. People just don't care.

    I'm actually actively curious about what goes on around me though, and I have a hard time understanding why not everyone else is like that. When I hear of things like this its always a shock. I gotta take the time to remember that sometimes people are stupid.

    If anything, I see this as an indicator of how far interface as a whole has come. That so many users can look at Google results as such a constant, dependable, immutable thing that their first assumption is not that Google's results have changed, but that Facebook has changed?

    That says something powerful about Google, right there.

    oh no, I've actually agreed with everything fram has said in this thread so far

    some people just tend to act like computer literacy is this big defining factor of intelligence for some reason
