I think that a great number of these people online are still relatively young. 30 something and younger. What I'm concerned about is that marketing is pushing technology onto non-tech types....ex: gradma, and grandpa can just buy a pc so they can e-mail a video, photos, whatever....yeah.. cause it's so simple.

Can you imagine? I mean, you don't have to imagine it, it's happening. People who may have never used a computer before are buying into the hype, they buy a computer because they just want to "stay connected" and aol/m$ makes it seem like you just plug it in, like a tv, and it works!

Maybe we do need Apple, Apple is closer to this than anything that m$ puts out. Perhaps, in the future this will be the answer. Advanced pc users will use Linux, and the casual appliance user will use an Imac, plausible?

to be honest i believe that most people buy a computer because of all of the fallowing

a)chat on line.
b)Do whatever work they have in office apps.
c)listen to music
d)because the neighbor has a PC.
e)the thought of free porn is inticing.
 I dare anyone in here who haved repaired other people's computers to prove me wrong.
 The majority of people buy a computer for all the above.

  There is not a thurst of knowledge. We have taped in the bigest information resource humanity has ever seen and what we do with it? We fill 75+% of it with porn sites.
 
  If you were an allien, what would you think about the human race by observing it by far away?


  Personaly if i was an allien i would ask my self this: "Its gonna be very  hard for me to find a reason not to nuke the shit out of them".

Fett101:

Maybe for you, but not for me. I quit playing games on my computer when I turned 38.
