I have to admit, after reading this one article, my knowledge and understanding of the basic computer and its related technology ain't that bad, really. I was browsing about the news posting on some website, and came across a piece by a leading news source. The phrase that caught my eye was, get ready :
"Where is the 'ANY' key?"
Oh god! I really felt so funny when I read that. It really caught my attention and compelled me to read further on the article.
Seems like working in a technical support provider or solutions company has its share of humour, especially if you happen to take post at the front line. The all important bridge connecting the majority of us technology-deficient mortals with the IT super brains. It will be questions like above that will make the day seems worthwhile, of course after trying very hard to contain the laughter within while still on the line with the poor confused enquirer. It helps to know that one more person had been fished out in the confusing, but ever morphing, fast-paced world of IT.
Other quotes worth quoting here :
"Why isn't my wireless mouse connected to the computer?".
"Can you reset the Internet for me?"
"Can you rearrange the keyboard alphabetically?"
"How do I get my computer's coffee-cup holder to come out again?" was asked presumably with confusion over the intended use of the CD/DVD ROM.
Yes, please go roll your eyes but do close your gaping mouth. Laugh if you have to, laugh hard. Try to get some work today, though. Come back here, if you need another dose of laughter after being stressed out by your boss. I don't mind.
I had mine just now, starting this day this knowing, I am not zero-brain after all in this world of technology.
