What are the odds of having an entire office full of technologically incompetent people today though?

Fake, in incredibly annoying green text, and stolen from /b/ to post on Reddit. This is pretty much what sums up the worst post I've read today. Don't fret though, it is still early!

Honestly, huge. I've worked in IT for the last 10 years, both in business & freelance. A lot of people are technically competent in the basics - using their smartphones, poking around their computer - but are totally lost when it comes to updates, managing files, etc. It's not at all unusual to see an executive with a desktop full of icons still.

On the plus side, it keeps us in business :thumbsup:

That's quite amazing. I figure most people have had access, and been regularly using, personal computers for the better part of 30 years. To not know the basics is really saying something. My father is in his 70's and he's got the basics down at least.

Of course it is, this is the Internet - where everything is made up & the points don't matter. It's entertainment, do you get mad at movies too?

When the story is so contrived I can't suspend belief long enough to make it past the first scene, yes I do get mad (only if I paid for it).

The majority of "users" specialize in niches - saving files to folders, using Office, browsing the web. Anything beyond that - manually running updates, data backup of any kind, safely downloading new apps - is totally beyond the scope of most people IME. That's why stuff like Citrix & iPad thin clients are doing so well...you can centrally-manage things & take a lot of the maintenance work out of having to deal with the end-user.

It's like a text version of a silly Youtube video. It's just meant to be a throwaway laugh. But you can have your money back

Yeah. Obviously this stuff is made up, probably from actual events that took place at the office.

There's a couple women in my office that always come to me every few months when the client they work on releases an update to this tool they use. Literally all it requires is unzipping the file and running the included executable. They can't figure this out for themselves despite me doing it in front of them many times.

That's called job security, my friend

I've been driving cars for about 20 years; that doesn't equate to knowledge of how to tear down and rebuild an engine

Maybe they just want you to unzip.
