Techtarded

I work with computers for a living.

In fact, a large part of my job description involves staying current on new, developing, cutting-edge technologies.

So why the fuck can’t I figure out how to work the damn copier?

    A clear example of knowledge rather than understanding. It’s a fault of today’s higher education, turning it into a glorified votech. Of course I’ve seen this in a variety of places. For instance, when I worked in an art supply store I used to get people asking for books instructing them on how to draw trees, or dogs, or people. I suppose unless they had a book on how to draw a specific thing, despite being capable of drawing other things, they couldn’t draw it. That’s being arttarded I guess. The point is learn how to draw, period, then you can draw whatever you want. Without understanding, they couldn’t apply their tree drawing skills to drawing a dog, much like you couldn’t apply your tech skills to working the copier.

    Write your school and ask for a partial refund.

    Ironically, I *WORK* for the school that I just graduated from. So it wouldn’t be too hard to write them and ask for a partial refund.
