How many of you people actually know how to use a computer? Or even a smartphone? A tablet?

How many of you even know what they are?

If not, do you want lessons?

haha i feel bad for all those people

[connivingbird]

if they can't figure it out themselves they shouldn't complain at whatever help they can get

Wouldn't they need to have at least one of those to see this?

[scrap_metal]

That could be a good addition for the school at Menrva's temple.

[connivingbird]

because people don't buy things that they don't know how to use all the time
like cars
or toaster ovens

[connivingbird]

I'm doing this more for my sanity then as an actual job

[phantomforgod]

Even toaster ovens? Is there a story behind that example?

[scrap_metal]

What does it have to do with your sanity?

[connivingbird]

yes
let's just say someone forgot they were drying their underwear in it and decided to try to cook a frozen diner

[connivingbird]

too many 'what does this do?' questions from certain parties
I might as well get it over with in one go

[phantomforgod]

Wow that's pretty bad. I can only imagine a really old person doing that or someone really clumsy.

they're more advanced than i remember but i've gotten pretty much up to speed. what do you know about them?

[connivingbird]

it's typical of the species, tbh

[connivingbird]

I've gone as far as make my own apps and specialized programs for tablets and phones
why?

[revolutionfalcon]

I'm not sure whether to be surprised or not that there's enough people here that incompetent with them to need a post. We don't even use the same technology widely in my world, but it's close enough to figure out what's here easily.

Why the hell anyone needs either of the latter two in a place like this is the better question.

[oathkeeper]

well i use my phone to text people and play candy crush that's about it! i don't really need a computer because everythings on my phone anyway? i don't know what a tablet is though

[cyberfly]

just curious. i haven't met a lot of other programmers here.

[ That he knows of, anyway. ]

[connivingbird]

I wouldn't be surprised if most try to keep it secret
or just doesn't want the hassle

[connivingbird]

really? I suppose you never had the pleasure of meeting people that can't even hold the things upright
computers and tablets are useful for any number of things that a phone is just too small to make them work properly
let alone the games that you can play on them
or the bigger memory capabilities

[connivingbird]

I suppose if you have no other needs outside of candy crush and texting, then you might not a computer
a tablet is a larger version of a phone that lets you utilize computer specific programs like writing tools and graphics

[oathkeeper]

hmmm i don't think i need any of that!

[phantomforgod]

Species as in humans?

[cyberfly]

probably.

[ Anonymity, after all, is a hacker's greatest asset. ]

so why are you?

[ Going through the hassle, that is. ]

[connivingbird]

yes

[revolutionfalcon]

No, but I don't doubt I will sometime if it's that common.

I was talking about smartphones and tablets being useless when you have a computer, though I suppose what I have is closer to one or other of them than a computer anyway. But games and memory? Still pointless in a place like this.
