I’m going to start this off nice and simple
WHY?
Why are people so scared of technology? I really can’t figure this out, what is it about a mouse that is so scary? It has two or more buttons and it clicks, and it has a little cursor that moves and opens things. What the fuck is so scary about that? It’s not like clicking the “Start” menu will cause your child to implode like a defective landmine.
I’m going to steal one from Steve here. People are willing share the road with horrible drivers, all of whom are operating large vehicles that weigh several tons and are flying down said road at speeds damn close to 100mph. And yet this comes far more naturally than just clicking the mouse. Why? WHY?
Oh, here’s why. You people are fucking stupid and unwilling to change any part of your routine to accomodate technology. Hey old people: you suck ass.
Yeah, I’m damn cynical today. Blow me.
Edit: Old people really do suck. See:
Edit 2: HOLY SHIT

Nice save :)
I think old people’s asses would taste like Preparation H, and of course, crap. :X Not to mention, when old people suck asses, I bet they suck out suppositories…ok wow, I’m getting really nasty gross here. :\
On to better comments…

Ok!
I couldn’t disagree more with this entire post. Learn something about your subjects before ranting about them. Possibly attempt to obtain some form of education in the process – you will find it will help to answer these big questions of ‘why’ that you seem to have.
First off, you’re right. An education certainly would help with answering the question of why.
However I would like to point out that you are nitpicking something that was written several years ago and was mostly for comedic effect. Bad comedic effect at that – in reading it I kind of cringe and go “why in the hell would I write this?” It really was rather stupid.
It’s still true today though. People are incredibly scared of technology. I would know, I work to dispel this fear every day by showing people it’s not as scary as it seems. The difference between then and now is that I don’t fault people for that fear – that’s silly.
But thank you for the passive aggressive comment. It was really enlightening. I would suggest next time you look at the date of the post beforehand.
