It should be required that all computer users take some
steps to learn more than how to find the power switch, but
just how much that is can be hard to determine. You don't
need to be a machine level programmer or even know how to
use Visual Basic to use a computer. And it doesn't help
that companies like HP/Compaq don't have paper manuals or CD
media. There is so much that happens, many people don't
have the time (or will take the time) to read about
technology as it changes daily.
Many won't buy a computer magazine such as PC World, or even
Video Professor.
Bill Cosby said that poor black families were not keeping up
with their responsibilities, maybe all computer users should
be more responsible, too. This is not aimed at you, just
the general guy who buys a computer at Wal-Mart or BestBuy
and thinks its like a kitchen appliance.
