Most people can't use hi-tech gadgets

Wednesday 26 March 2008

In 29% of homes only one person is able to operate the latest electronic gadgets according to a survey by electronics maker Logitech.

In total Dutch households have invested a combined €8bn in hi-tech items such as TVs and DVD players – but in 16% of families there is only one ‘expert’ who knows how to use the remote control.

I'm amazed and sad. When people buy a car, they learn everything about it. Some even learn how to fix it themselves. But when buying a gadget or a computer, they act like they just pick something out of the blue and don't care about reading any documentation.
