The Wonders of Stupidity
It's pretty amazing how a lot of people who don't even know how to surf the net but would still try to subscribe to an Internet service and get really mad if they cannot connect. What's more amazing is that those people would really love to choose dial-up service and would demand to have more than what they could have.
Like there's this one person who had subscribed to a dial-up Internet connection for quite some time now but still doesn't know how to go to websites, change his homepage on his browser, even spell google.com. Mind you, he spelled it as golle.com. Then he wanted to access his email account. I gave him the URL for the webmail and oh my sweet pajamas, it took him almost 10 minutes to go to the correct site! Miraculously, he was able to access his webmail. Now, he wants to use his outlook for his emails. Ambisyoso!
Another person I spoke to was so furious because she had signed up for the dial-up a week ago and still wasn't able to connect. She already spoke to a lot of people but no one had succeeded to help her with her problem. Fortunately, I was able to connect her dial-up. She was ecstatic!!! Wow. Now, what? Well, here's what - she doesn't know what to do next. She doesn't know how to browse websites, doesn't know what a browser or Internet Explorer is. She's just happy that she got connected. I asked her, "So what do you normally do when you are online? Do you check your email? Do you know Yahoo.com?" and her answer is, "I don't know. It's my first time to have Internet."
I quit.
