did we just sit there looking at it going how do I use this? NO we tried random shit till it worked!

lol... quite true...

I do actually know somebody who, according to him "downloaded an extra gig of RAM".

and:

This isn't as computer related, but my friends dad did try to buy a CD rewinder off the internet

My name in this will be BOB the other students name will be FRED

Bob is pinging his website to see why it's not responding

Fred: OMG BOB! You hacker whats all those lines and stuff!
Bob: It's called a ping you send something and you get information back.
Fred: What! Thats so cool, so you send crap and you steal all there stuff!!!
Bob: No you don't, it just tells you how long it takes to get to the server and come back.
Fred: Why would you need to do that? Doens't everything take the same time to load?
Bob: No it doesn't it can depend on lots of things, for example the website im pinging has it's server in england.
Fred: What you know it's in England? That's soo cool! So i could find everyone in the world by that!
Bob facepalms, Bob now tries to explain Pinging in a simpler way
Bob: No ****head it's like a bat, it sends out something it bounces back, the bat can tell how far away it is by the time it takes, with this it's just like that it mesures how long it takes.
Fred: You can tell it's in england just of the time it takes? That's so f***** cool, so where is it if it takes ummmmm 2 seconds!
Bob facepalms again
Bob: F*** your thick....
Fred tries to be cool quickly as every now looks whats going on.
Fred: Shutup nerd hacker. No one gives a crap about knowing where a thing is by how long it takes to reply or some crap...
Bob: Whatever....
Fred walks away
Now 3 other people walk up in curiosity and I have the same thing all over again.

FACE F****** PALM .......

@nate: FAIL. URE.

Another one I made up:
Mom: -NAME-, coem over here for a minute!
Me: What is it?
Mom: How do you send a.... a.... an electronic letter?
Me: You mean, send an E-Mail?
Mom: Yea.. I suppose.
Me: Well you need to -EXPLAIN OF PROCESS-. Got it?
Mom: Ok, so I press this...
Me: No, not that! You gotta press tha new button!
Mom: New? Where?
Me: THAT ONE.
Mom: Oh. What does it do?
Me: -Headdesk-

mum: TOM! can you give me a hand for a minuite?
me:ok, what is the problem
mum: i need to know how to change the name of my folder (cos. my dad kept changing it to random stuff!)
me: right

Made up:
A friend of mine has to write a thing for school. He calls me for help.
Friend: So, how do I write my thing for school?
Me: So you go into Microsoft Word and write it then save it and print it.
Friend: -Beetles in the night noise-
Me: You click Start > All programs > Microsoft Office > Microsoft Office Word 2007....
Friend: What's start?
Me: -Facepalm- THAT THING THERE.
Friend: Why is it called start?
Me: Because most operations on the computer are started from there.
Friend: Okay, what was I supposed to do?
Me: -Explains again-
Friend: Okay, now what?
Me: Write what you want.
Friend: And how do you write with capitals?
Me: -IS THINKING : Oh sh... He has a computer but he seriously doesn't know how to use it...- Ehh, hold Shift and press the key with the letter you want to make a capital.
Friend: What's shift?
Me: -Facepalm- That key here or there
Friend: Why are there two?
Me: So you can reach both the shift key and the letter key.
Friend: Why? Can't I just use both hands?
Me: Fast writers don't use both hands.
Friend: Okay...
-FRIEND MAKES TEXT-
Friend: Now, what am I supposed to do?
Me: Save it.
Friend: What?
Me: Save it.
Friend? Save what?
Me: SAVE THE FRIGGEN TEXT!
Friend: What do you mean save? It's not like, in a firey building and needs to be "saved", right?
Me: -Facepalm- Saving means storing the text onto the computer, now save it.
Friend: How?
Me: -EXPLAINS-
Friend: So I saved.
Me: But you forgot to name it.
Friend: But it is. It's named untitled.
Me: But that's the default name for a document.
Friend: Meh, who cares?
Me: Well, whatever, now print it.
Friend: My printer needs a new ink cardrige, my dad's bringing it in an hour.

-ONE HOUR LATER-
Friend: Okai, time to print
Friend: Okay, where was that document? Oh in My Documents
Friend: Wait what's this untitled thing? I'll delete it then print my document.

-A FEW HOURS LATER-
Me: Hey!
Friend: Oh, hey.
Me: What's wrong?
Friend: I couldn't find the document.
Me: What? Tell what you did.
Friend: So I got to My Documents, then I think I found a thing named untitled and decided to delete it, because it wasted space, then shearched for my document.
Me: -IS THINKING: What an idiot! That was his document!- -FACEDESK-

Final: But you gotta admit the phone thing and the document thing I made up are stoupendously funny, rite?

another true one:
monday morning, everyone arrives at school
headteacher had prepared a powerpoint for assembly later in the morning
goes to turn on the computer in the hall
can't turn it on
tries again, doesn't work
tries agian
and again, and again
the school has no I.T. technition or a teacher with decent I.T. skills, so the teacher calls on my brother
my brother walks into the hall
30 seconds later walks out of the hall, the computer on, and fully functioning
teacher asks "what was the problem?"
brother replies "next time, turn the computer on at the wall!"


FACEPALM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lol not that funny, but i nearly died.
second I.T. lesson of the year in mixed ability sets:
teacher: right people can you please make a folder called "blah blah blah"(not literally)
7 people put there hands up amd say: er... SIR HOW DO I CREATE A FOLDER?!
these people had been using computers for nearly 5 years now and didnt know how to create a FOLDER?
me: omg i cant be in this group, please kill me now
quite recently now, my "friend" who is always making stuff up and thinks he awesome(hes not) went onto TPT website (after showing him it [he started TPT when i started playing]), saw a cool creation on the front page, clicks it to have a look
friend: COOL an apache helicopter
sees the preview, it says zoom to use controls so he zooms in on the webpage to use the controls XD

i litterally *facedesked*

massey101:

did we just sit there looking at it going how do I use this? NO we tried random shit till it worked!

i agree completely... also most people in my mixed ability set ask me how i learn all my computer stuff(as they call it) and thats pretty much how i respond...
