Computer Illiteracy

You know what really grinds my gears (+1 internets if you know the reference)? Computer Illiteracy. Computers should require licenses. You should have to take a test, and however you perform on that test, they give you a computer that suits your skill level.

Just today, I "helped" a person with their computer. Now, lets start this out by noting that this person wasn't just computer illiterate, this person was computer retarded. I am talking having to wear a helmet when she walks into a room with a computer in it. The most frustrating thing about it is that she tries to be helpful, when she, I and everyone knows that she should put her hands in her lap and just go ahead and start licking the windows.

There are people who can learn how to use computers and then there are people who have no excuse for even turning one on. This is the same type of person who has a paper, step-by-step list, next to her computer of how to log into the damned thing. I know what you are all thinking: "Hey, have a little compassion, someone taught you." or "be nice". No, I don't want to be nice. I want to live peacefully in my own little happy world and not have to tell you for the 1000th time how to do something.

THAT, folks, Grinds my Gears.
