Computer training has become the living hell of the American workplace, a loathsome ritual that highlights the mounting battle between the computer cognoscenti and us mere mortals. Wow. The Washington Post is on it this week. This is a meme that I've hinted at in previous posts, but this article really seizes what I've been talking about from the user's perspective.
