There was a certain point in time in the not-so-distant past when plenty of people had never encountered a "Personal Computer" before—a time when listing your basic typing and computer skills on a CV would make you a strong candidate for a varying degree of roles and not raise eyebrows. At this time, it was perfectly understandable when you encountered someone, particularly someone older, who had no way of conceptualizing what the darn thing was, resulting in a degree of bizarrely hilarious interactions as people struggled to come to grips with this wondrous new machine.
Nowadays, Windows 95 is almost 30 years old—and thus, the widespread establishment of the Personal Computer (PC) in people's homes happened some time ago… So there's really not all that much of an excuse when you don't know how to use a mouse and keyboard. But technology has progressed since, and it's only a matter of time before there's something new that all of us can't get our heads around—and it's just not going to come in the form of something we anticipate.
Yet, where there is the possibility of something in this world, there's someone fulfilling the prophecy of probability. These tech-savvy persons gathered in this online community to share their stories about the most computer-illiterate people they had ever encountered, making for a good collection of relevant tales.
