'[I] had to show her multiple times how to open Excel': 20+ People who had no idea how to work a computer

If you've ever watched someone on a computer open a new window and slowly type "google.com", these stories are for you. If you're reading this, you probably know that there are plenty of computer shortcuts that make your life easier. These days, you don't have to search for the google homepage, you can just type in whatever you need to search for. But there are people of all ages and backgrounds who haven't quite mastered computers and technology, and their mishaps might make you giggle.

U/ThatLasagnaGuy asked the people of r/AskReddit to share the "worst case of computer illiteracy you've seen," and more than 2,700 people chimed in. Some folks were stuck with the infuriating task of helping their coworkers. A lot of people aren't too familiar with Excel, so they ask their coworkers for help. I wonder if they know they can google the answers to most of their problems… but it seems like some of these people are so far behind on their tech knowledge that it'll take a while to catch them up.

After you read about these people who were utterly baffled by today's tech, check out a 15-rule wedding invite that has convinced this person to skip the wedding.
