Technologically Challenged People DON'T Need Technology!


I work at a place that sells the newest and coolest gadgets, and yes there is some pretty revolutionary stuff; but I think there has come a point where we need to start setting standards on WHO can use these technologies.

NEW CODE OF PRACTICE

Rules for buying an Apple Ipod:

  • You must be able to pronounce the word "gigabyte".
  • You must not produce a blank stare when asked if you have the magical application called "Itunes"
  • You must not again produce another blank stare when asked if have a computer.
  • You must not produce a third blank stare when you ask how it connect to the interweb machine and we say "Through Wi-Fi Internet".
  • Under no circumstance can you ask "So what does an Ipod do... exactly?"
  • You must not ask the difference between the Ipod Nano and the Ipod Touch when they are in front of your face and obviously extremely different.
  • You must not hold an Ipod Touch to your ear and ask how it makes phone calls.
  • You must not point at an Ipod case with a fake cardboard cut-out of an Ipod inside and say you will take that one "because it's so cheap".  That is a case.
Rules for buy a Blu-Ray Player:

  • You must not ask if we sell a VHS/Blu-Ray Combo player.
  • You must not ask the different between a DVD player and a Blu-Ray Player
  • You must not produce a blank stare when asked if you own an HD TV.
Rules for buying a GPS:
  • You must not ask what a GPS does.
  • You may not point at the GPS cases and ask why they are so much cheaper then the ones on display.  Those are cases.

These are the new standards, if you break any of these rules you will be stripped of every bit of technology you own... including your pace-makers and hearing aids.

I wish.

Just a thought.
