@drahardja @jalefkowit Someone who had never had a computer, but had used one, asked me if when he bought one it would come with a manual. I naively thought he meant how to set it up, which is all manuals tell you these days, but he wanted a manual on how to use it. We take it for granted these day that you ask the internet how to do things. But there was a time when there were many books in the library on how to use computers.

@drahardja @jalefkowit I came across someone who didn't know what "web browser" meant, but she did know the phone's icon she needed to press to go on the internet. Another person I came across wanted to know how I was moving the pointer around the screen. Computers are very complex these days, starting from scratch is a long learner curve.

@thechris @jalefkowit But in those old days most people didn't need to use a computer. Now everything involves a computer, everyone has to deal with the government websites.
