What, Is Your Keyboard Broken?

January2

Why do some people have such a hard time learning how to look things up online? In the past 24 hours I’ve been asked by two separate people if I know the answers to some seriously stupid questions.

Mind you, these weren’t people sitting next to me, either. One sent me an email asking if I know the lyrics to “Louie Louie”, and the other sent a cell phone text message asking how many tablespoons are in a cup. For cryin’ out loud, if they’re able to use a damn computer or cell phone, why is Googling something so freaking hard?

But, I decided to play nice and send them a link anyway. Okay, so it was this link, but rather than being bitchy I like to think I simply empowered them.

Even so, I can’t imagine for the life of my why my mother wanted to sing along with “Louie Louie”.

    Oh, I am saving that link. It’s so much better than my standard reply of, “Google is your friend, mother …..”

    HAH! Great link. I seem to be forever looking things up for other people — but to be fair to them, they are usually older folks who don’t have a computer or don’t know how to use it.
