My 13 y o niece had no idea how to uninstall a program on a PC. I was a little stunned.

I'm reasonably certain that all four of my housemates, (58 y/o +) don't have any idea how to close a program either on their laptops, or their phones. Thankfully I'm the only desktop guardian.

Defragmenting often to free up some precious megabytes. I felt like the king of the world upgrading from 4 to 20 GB.

Now I treat a few gigabytes the way I used to treat a few megabytes (like they're nothing)

My government teacher in 12th grade got hit with an RIAA suit for seeding thousands of hours of music on Kazaa. When she found out that it was “illegal pirating” she deleted the icon off the desktop and thought she was done.
