Do you thnk avg American ppl are dumb in computer?

Thanks for ur response but as we support American ppl and wth silly qns frm them, I am so much frustrated that i used the word dumb. I never meant to hurt any body's feeling or to offend any nationality.

So true Laurie... I know of people who are telemarketers certain people who do not seem to know what no means - as in, no I don't need another credit card... is everyone from their country dumb????

I dont think so as they have face computer from its birth .so they well know about it

Thats a good one.lol.But to answer the thread starter i dont think its nice to stereotype people.You could have another aproach in your topic title.Anyway,its not only the americans but there are other countries too who are not knowledgeable to computers especially when they just got one and do not know about the basic things on computers.I believe my husband is just an average american but he sure knows a lot about computers,he doenst learn it at school but just himself.

LMAO, that's very funny! What I hate about calling Tech Support is being told I need to BUY something else or use the tech support that charges you. Here's my DUMB question, maybe you can answer it? If I own an HP computer and I buy an HP printer, why can't they get along?

thts so nivce of ur husband. Atleast a person who is using computer should have some desire to learn computers.

How m I going to make ppl understand the statement that it was not calling American a Dumb but to ask for an opinion???? And wot do u thnk abt a post here whr it was written "Are the ppl of India called Indians...but they never look like Indian"

comon man whats wrong with you? its your profession to answer dumb questions. people calls for help only when they cant fix it themself. and how in hell u expect everyone has time to waste learning silly computer stuffs? my dad is a busy man and he is damn good in his profession but he doesnt know how to opperate computer! he has complete control over really complecated industrial machines and not knowing computer doesnt mean he is dumb enough. its just he doesnt have enough time to learn computer. we dont learn computer instantly when we buy one for us. and everyone has the right to ask even the most dumbest questions ever coz u have got the job to answer dumb questions. i can fix almost every problem of my computer but i remember the day when i first got my comp it wasnt making any sound and i asked to my cousine what was wrong with it. i was worried enough. he came up and fixed the problem in a twinkling of an eye. mute was check on! u cant call me dumb for that coz i didnt go through it. u cant call americans dumb and honestly indeed its the dumbest question.

Yeah I do agree with tht, it is the job of a tech support guy to answer the dumbest question. but can u guess if sm 1 using a computer and dont know the version of Windows he/she using. it is like r u man?? yes...wots ur name??? Plz tell me how to find tht out..

Plz plz forgive me if I hv hurt any body's feelinh here. I never mneant to offend any one. it just came out iof my frustration.

I appreciate the way u answered it. PPl should understand tht it is an open forum and we can discuss any thing...but they are fighting over a silly matter and ths is getting hotter and hotter...

Hey, I call it as I seee It.lol.

Oh!! out sourcing.Ya ,looks like it's realy paying off with pissed off customers.That have a choice now in a free market to chose what they can BUY or (NOT) BUY.Lunix anyone?LOL

Great Comment, They work for cheap so the companies go there way, eventually though the companies come back. Just Keep on Letting them know one day the companies will learn cheap isnt always better.

I agree that i m not at all intelligent. I am a fool a dumb in each and every field. Thts wot u anted to listen ....Now i feel great that i made sm 1 happy. Cheers Alex

Mr Nice guy I appreciate the way u handled the question. Every body without understadning the meaning of the question are just shouting. I never meant to hurt any body, I was just asking an opinion. And it is a free forum where we can ask any thing and take the opinion of the ppl.

One more thng for mentioning the geographical thing is becoz... we dela with North American only. I hv never interacted with any otrher region ppl.

I have dealt with tech support a number of times and my experience has been that they don't really listen to what you're saying. They have gotten so complacent they just automatically assume the caller has no idea what they're talking about. It took me over 2 months, many many hours on the phone, and several different techs, to finally get one who would listen to me and realize the hardware and drivers hadn't been installed for the DVD burner I had special ordered with my new computer. Of course I couldn't install it because the disc's weren't sent with the computer and restore did no good because it wasn't in the restore to begin with. After getting a tech that actually listened I had the restore disc's sent to me and a new DVD burner with install discs sent to me and was up and running in less than a week. My daughter works in tech support for a company and they are taught to start out by asking the caller how much they know about computers so they'll know how to help them better. Yes, there are the totally clueless callers and ones that don't know as much as they think they do but take the time to actually listen to what they're saying and try to speak slowly enough they might be better able to understand you in the future and you might find the job a little less frustrating.

Then why do u thnk u cant just go and search for the solution and read it to ur selves???/

before u, i have never come across a person who has said that Microsoft is not user-friendly. Microsoft is the most user-friendly OS that exists. at least it's better than linux - with reference to user friendliness.

As far as the whole world is concerned Microsoft software is tyhe most usefriendly as compared to any other operating system. Any ppl wth an average IQ can easily learn to use Windows and any other Microsft programmes.

I never tolf American are Dumb and me is smart. It is not a place to express anger and fight over it.

I never told American are Dumb and me is smart. It is not a place to express anger and fight over it.

Hey whn it comes to the professional writin we can write far better English. Hv u ever used Instant Messenger??? Han I appreciate that u hv the intelligence to understand the loose text....n the pain u have taken to correct it. Thank you.

tipical girl call looking for spelling mistake but tell u one think technical people never cares for that and ya its true we always think what the idiotic question was that

Hey I appreciate the way u honestly admit tht u know little abt computers. You know if sm one does not know a thng and want to learn sm thng abt that thn it is easier to make him/her understand. In ur case as u hv the killer desire to learn I am sure tht u will get to know everythng abt computer.

@ minerc U should not thnk tht I am criticizing any body here. Rather I wanted to know opinion of others. It is true that if sm one is given training and hv the desire to learn thng he will be a mster in it.

Your Not Dumb!These people just think they know everything, Problem is you dont get free training unless you work in the call centers. The only reason they have the jobs that they do is because, American's don't work for cheap and they do. They go threw the same training classes that American's who work in call centers do. They need to Say Thank You instead of criticize without our knowledge they wouldnt have a job much less be able to operate that Computer in front of them. So Sad they were not Taught Any Manners. If you want to know how to Cut and paste look me up Ill be glad to help you.

And here you have written a very ultra modern literary English....

Hey Valmiki...even I am a victim of Sify netwrk....They provide the worst kind of Internet Service and there Customer Service is pathetic. Better somne Sify official look after ths.

I hv never said that American are Dumb....I was just asking abt an opinion thts why I wrote "Do you think .....???"

Thts where the frustration comes.

That sounds logical.

Thats what a tech support or Customer Service personnel should do. But sometimes it is very frustrating. If hv experienced ths thn u can understand. N e way my motive was not to criticize n e body.. but to start a hot discussion and it is geting hotter n hotter
