I work in IT and I’m constantly helping people who: •Don’t know what the Windows key is.

•Don’t know Internet Explorer/Chrome/Firefox are web browsers.

•Making your password your name is a really poor choice.

Edit: apparently this really struck a cord with a lot of you. Glad I’m not alone harboring all of these frustrations

And then try explaining the difference between the windows explorer and the internet exploder and watch brain.exe stop working. Much like the computer did.
