generation gap

2007-05-04 17:58:18.987318+02 by Dan Lyke 1 comments

How is it that 12 year olds manage to figure out technologies that adults, accomplished and respected in their fields, need keystroke by keystroke hand-holding to make work. It's a voice chat system developed so that pre-teens could scream obscenities at each other, how hard can it be?

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
