MasonTheEpic got a reaction from DocSwag in Experiences with non-techies
Almost everyday when I walk into school wearing my Pebble Time a kid stops me and starts to tap the screen on my watch. They always say "Why isn't your Apple Watch working?" and I always laugh a little (but cry on the inside) and say "Its not a Apple Watch, its a Pebble Time. It has buttons." They say "Oh... That's stupid, whats the point?"

MasonTheEpic reacted to Dash Lambda in Experiences with non-techies
I thought my computer science teacher was the only one that called the entire damned thing the CPU.
The kid next to me told her that the computer wasn't working (The screen wouldn't show output). She looked at it, turned it on and off a couple times, then unplugged the tower entirely and swapped it with one that was working. She then proclaimed "I fixed it! And all I had to do was replace the CPU!"
Swapping out the tower is a legitimate fix for that situation, not as efficient as simply moving the kid, but hey. Saying that you replaced the CPU? That's like totaling your car save for the wheels, buying an entirely new car, putting your old wheels on that new car, and saying that you fixed it by replacing the engine.

There was a kid at school bragging about his new Macbook, and he said it had an i7. I asked which CPU, and he said again that it was an i7. I told him that was pretty vague and asked if he could give me the exact CPU. He then turned it on, went through a couple menus, leaned close to the screen, and read off "Intel Iris 5200 Pro Radeon R9M X370 2GB GDDR5", in that order, without pause. I told him that was all graphics, and asked again if he could find the CPU model number. He said i7.
