People who will not use computers: irritating?
Who else is bugged by the wasted time and energy due to people who don't use computers as they could?
Example #1: my boss. Rather than simply retrieve documents on our company's online document system (which takes just a few seconds), he constantly barges in my office to ask me to send documents to him. That breaks my concentration and takes him longer than to just get the documents himself.
Example #2: my boss, again. We had a business trip together. Rather than just forward the hotel information to me, he told it to me verbally. Guess what? He gave the wrong hotel information to me, and as a result, I was delayed to a critical meeting, and I wasted 2 hours.
Example #3: my mother. Like my boss, she has an iPhone, iPad, laptop, etc. But does she use them? Nope. She'll email me: "Is it going to snow today?" (Check Weather.com, which is all I can do to answer your question.) "I can't get my car door to lock right." (Rather than just Google the issue, she calls around until she finds a relative who can answer, wasting everyone's time.)
Others? Thoughts?
Nope. No one. You, fine sir, are a hypocrite.
I don't concern myself with the actions of others.

Your boss is your boss. If you don't want to put up with him, quit and find another job or start your own business. But he pays you to do whatever he wants, do it. If he is prone to making mistakes, double check whatever he gives you. Your reward is your paycheck.
Your mom changed your diaper, gave you a bath, fed you and generally raised you and could have been using the time she "wasted" on you for herself. She didn't. You could pay her back by giving her the small things she is asking for now.
My mom is 100 years old, is blind & barely can hear. How much time do you think she wastes of other people around her?
Why do you care so much about what others do?
Doesn't bug me at all. We're the technically gifted generation. I have no problem breaking out email to send a note but if the guy is next door Ill just write it out on paper. If he's not there then yes an email is nice.
- Why some old people difficulty with electronic devices, mobile, computers, internet? My mom difficult uses an iPhone Bizarre Seems very complex for her Difficulty make a call Difficulty make a call
- What can i do to make my singing less irritating/bad? Its ok but on iphone it sounds a bit irritating sometimes what can i do drink eat or anything to help smoothen it
- Two different computers, two different iTunes.can I use the same Apple ID? I have iTunes on my computer that I use for my iPhone, and my mon just got an iPod Touch and wants me to fill it for her. I'm going to use her computer to do this, which currently does not have iTunes. Once I download iTunes, can I use my own Apple ID to download songs and apps onto her iPod? Is it possible to do that without disturbing what's on my phone, or do I have to make a whole new iTunes account for her?
- Same Itunes playlist on different computers? I've got a detailed iTunes playlist on a PC. Now, I want the exact same playlist on my IMac. I can copy the songs over--that's easy enough, but do I now have to go through and re-create all those playlists? Can I sync my IPhone from the PC and then get that somehow onto the IMac (an exact copy, all songs in the same lists, etc)?
