I was asked "Do I have to use a computer to get on the internet?"
Now, I have tried to look at this question objectiviely...
1) I guess you could use your X-Box. The average lay-person would probably not think of that as a "computer" evejn though it is... technically...
2) I guess you could use your cell phone to access things like email and downloads of certain types...
3)In many instances people use things like Blackberrys or even windows mini workstations that looks like a blackberry to access the internet and people think these are not "computers"...
But, I am still struggling with people not understanding what the internet is. I mean, do they think it is like TV or radio where you just tune in with something?
I was asked this question by someone that (until now) I thought of as relatively intelligent... which is what is causing me this mental struggle.
How can you not know what the internet is? My mind is boggled.. somebody help me here...
