I've often felt the same towards the tech support monkeys at various places I've worked.... "You can't code, this makes you no better than the users you despise so much. Now shut the feck up Mr Point'n'Click admin!"Don't get me started on those "programmers" who are scared of curly braces....../rant
So I take it you're one of those old stooges who brag about programming mainframes with punchcards back in the 60's, but who still can't figure out how to update his Java VM, and keeps yelling that I need to talk slower?
Those terms are so last decade, you should say swipe, pinch and unpinch....
[rant on]I dont expect people who dont care about computers to really be familiar with them.I particularly dont expect people who dont use a computer to be familiar with one.What I do expect is that if your day to day life or work involves a computer, then you damn well better figure it out. Whats worse is that with a lot of people, it has gone from "I have no idea but I am trying to learn" to being proud of their ignorance and refusal to ever learn.
Nope, there is nothing tech support monkeys can do for me that I can't do for myself.
They were still doing things that way when I worked for Farranti at the start of the 80s and these were mainframes being sold to the British Ministry Of Defence... :eek:
Yelling and telling people to talk slower?
