Some people lack common sense..

Today, My friend called me from his landline and said his Iphone broke, and to not call it. I said what happened and he said that it wouldnt turn on. He said he was going to take it to the verizon store to get it fixed.

I googled it for him just for the heck of it, and he found the solution on the first result.

Do you guys know any people who are too lazy to just google stuff? I mean isin't it just common sense? Whenever something weird happens with my phone or computer, i google it and ussualy find the solution

So this guy was too lazy to google it, but had no problem driving to the Verizon store?imaps3fanboy

Exactly, just lack of common sense. I mean I literally saved him like half an hour

no the common person just doesnt think to google whenever they have a problem like that. Sometimes it makes more sense to go see a professional especially if the person isnt very familiar with technology

The multitude of ridiculous questions that flood OT when someone could have just as easily googled them comes to mind.

But with something as simple as an i phone not turing on.. I don't think you need a computer expert to tell you how to do a hard reset...

I'd ask google-able questions here because I feel I can trust the responses more and get some interaction with the answers (such as if something is unclear I don't have to google a second question).

I said ridiculous questions. Not questions that might actually serve as a discussion.

common sense dictates that if you have a lack of familiarity with a product (in this case, an iPhone), you take it to people that have the know-how to fix it.

Some people prefer human interaction.

Also, common sense is everything you've learned by the age of 21.

I've learned a lot from people, too. Call me old-fashioned but I'd much prefer to pick someone's brain in a shop than to read some random forum post or help site on the web

The problem is, why is it a common sense to buy a product that requires to google for solutions.magicalclick

More or less what I'm thinking...

Some people just don't have the forethought to use Google before anything else. Google is still a relatively new thing. People in their late teens or early 20's may have grown up with technology, but not so much with Google. But hey, it benefits people like me who get money for fixing someone's computer. Some guy paid me $40 to defrag his hard drive yesterday because he didn't know how to do it. It would have taken a simple Google search and you would have found detailed instructions within 20 seconds.stanleycup98

Did you tell him how to defrag his hard drive for the future or did you just say "comeback if you ever need it done again" XD

[QUOTE="lonewolf604"]Same thing with my Dad. He's pretty technologically illiterate, and guess what? SO AM I LOL. So it annoys me when he asks me to fix something on his computer. And like you said, if something happens I usually Google it, or try to solve it myself.DaJuicyMan

My sister and mum tend to cause me great facepalm sometimes. But my sister certaintly knows how to use the internet.....she just can seem to comprehend that Firefox, Opera, Chrome, etc, are all basically the exact same thing as Explorer......just better :P
