King of the Hill isn't usually funny to me and as such I don't typically watch it. However Lord TiVo (peace be upon him) has decided I should watch it and every now and then there is a great exchange like this: Father-in-law: So... you good with computer? Khan: Yes Father-in-law: Then puts MP3s in my watch! I want talk radio and Frank Sinatra! Khan: uhhh errr uhhh but that's not how it works! Father-in-law: Do it! Drag and Drop! Khan: but I Father-in-law: DRAG AND DROP! Khan: But this watch isn't even digital Father-in-law: [growls, takes back watch]
Many times I've had the [do something technically impossible] - [technology doesn't work like that] - [growls] exchange with non-technical family members and friends. Why is it non-geeks always think that it is somehow your fault that: -There is a pause when changing channels on a digital TV stream -The mircowave messes with the wireless network -They have to live near a phone exchange to get DSL -HDMI cables are so expensive -Word can't edit PDFs -etc |
