A tongue-in-cheek top ten list of signs that you didn't learn your current skills on a computer. |
- When you want more than one copy of what you're typing, you press harder.
- When you come to the end of a line when typing, you slap the side of the monitor.
- To clear the screen on your laptop, you hold it upside down and shake it.
- You put paper in the printer before you start typing.
- Instead of backspacing through a typo, you reach for liquid paper.
- You remember when “spell-check” was a skill, rather than a plugin.
- Having a “virus in your inbox” meant somebody probably sneezed on a memo.
- It took a while to stop associating “screen savers” with “storm windows.”
- You thought typing in a chat room involved sliding a typewriter back and forth.
- You remember when the thought of a mouse beside the keyboard was startling.
