No doubt most of us here are the go-to tech guys for our families and friends. Or maybe you work at a job that deals with computers or other tech. So I'm sure we all have those moments: we say something that we think is super simple but utterly baffles the non-techies around us and it either cracks us up or makes us do a great big facepalm. I'm sure we can all get a good laugh out of other people's troubles, so share your stories here. I'll start.
Just last night, my mother asked me to find a movie for her. She's barely able to use email (and even asks me how to turn on and off the computer sometimes), let alone do anything else online. So instead of forcing her to navigate through Netflix (and God knows she'd never be able to), I just found the movie on Netflix for her and created a shortcut to its page on her desktop. When she asked where the movie was, I said "It's on your desktop." She turned off the monitor, moved it to the side, and started shuffling the papers on her computer desk around. She did this for a good minute and a half before turning to me and saying "Where? I don't see any tape on the desk. You mean on your desk?" I couldn't stop laughing.
So what funny stories do you all have? I'd love to hear them!
