That is so apropos! I naturally have a sarcastic sense of humor but thankfully, I have a self edit button. :) The one-liners I could come up with…

@ Chris

Thanks, Chris :) I’m over it but I truly have no problems dealing with non-techies. I’m not the most technical person myself but the purpose of my blog is to learn and to keep up with what’s going on at the grassroots level. That’s why I also bought my iPod Touch and I’m contemplating on getting a Mac. You have to stay current.

@ L

You know, it’s kind of scary that one of these days, we might be the ones that the kids go, “you’re so obsolete!” because we don’t know how to use something. I’m dreading when that day happens.

@ Mike

Glad you got a laugh :)

@ Neil

I hear ya, Neil. Most of these smart-ass kids might have technical skills but they don’t know the fundamentals of why things work. All flash and no substance. Some of them could learn a dose of humility and respect too…

Bitch along with several other expletives only to continue reading ... Bitch, Please. .. I Love it! and i feel your pain. Having been on both sides of the desk, student and teacher ... it's extremely frustrating as the teacher to have smart arse no it alls race in front only to end up in the shit. I'm glad those days are behind me.

I deal with this all the time. Just yesterday, a police office walked into my office (a grown woman, mind you), and asked if we knew how to use the scanner! I'm still surprised daily that so-called professionals still can't use simple machines. This just made me laugh out loud! I deal with this all the time.
