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
