People and Computers

Even today, some people cannot seem to wrap their head around the concept of the computer.  No matter how often a particular piece of software is explained to them, they will ask for help from somebody which they consider "computer literate".  Now, I admit, that not everyone can be computer geniuses.  I have nothing against anyone for taking longer to learn something than another person.  However, it just really bugs me when people refuse to learn such simple concepts that would make their life so much easier.  This is especially true when the entire world is becoming more dependent on computers of every type, whether it be traditional desktops, laptops, smartphones, or any other type of computer for that matter.  That, of course, brings me to another point.  I help to tutor quite a few of my friends, and it just KILLS me when they want the "A" in a class, but refuse to learn the material so that they can earn the "A".  Learning should honestly be, well, fun.  Not in the traditional sense of fun like you would have when you play sports, but it should be interesting.  For me, knowledge always seems to be a good thing.  Sometimes, I wish that people would put more effort into the activities they do.
