I just want you to FIx IT FOR ME

An excerpt from a telephone conversation recorded by the Echelon
surveillance system, circa 1994.
“Hello, tech support.”
“Hi, er, yeah, I’m having trouble with my computer.”
“Yeah.”
“Yeah I saved this file. It was a word document, I don’t know if that
matters or not--”
“It shouldn’t.”
“Yeah. Well anyway, I can’t find it now.”
“Where did you save it?”
“On my computer.”
“No I mean what directory? What drive?”
“You what?”
“See, a computer stores all of its information on something called a hard
drive--”
“Can’t you just tell me how to find it?”
“Sure, but you do need to know this stuff. It’ll stop the problem
happening again--”
“I don’t want to know how it works, I just want you to fix it for me.”

That is the attiude of 95% of normal people. What do you expect from them?

There are 2 issues here. One is called customer service and another is teaching someone about something. Second one is really hard part when it ends up with technical thingy. General people don't want to get into that part. And you can't blame them for it. Second they pay for it. So, they don't bother with the details. From technical view, ofcourse, I will support a techy concept. Just think if you would be just that person what you would do. And you just need the document which very important to get the job done. Though I think people should be more positive about the environment of a PC. It will make their life easier. One month fundamental course can help them to overcome these problems.

I agree with you DK. But as for any man made joke, this one is to perhaps only show how the majority of the people have the general tendency to avoid learning new things.

General people!!! Interesting...who are they? I think you can say all the people don't have any intention to know other things except their own field which we call specialization (a largly used typical jargon word). After all, we all are heading to such border. We want to live in a egg...how pitty!!!

General people are people who are like as you said, people who want to live in an egg shell. But there are different kinds of people who lead the way. Who are not afraid to look for and take new road. Newton, einstein, gandhi to name a few.
