IgnoranceI once was in a programming class where the task was "build a calculator". A student did one with buttons 1, 2, 3 all the way up to about 25 and then ran out of space on the screen. We've asked this before but liked it so much we're asking again: What's the best example of ignorance you've encountered?

This is a byproduct of a generation brought up on point and shoot camerasI was once wandering around with a some of my gear at work which to the untrained eye probably does look a bit far out and mental. I was actually using those guys on the right, a Canon 1Ds3 and an EF300L 2.8; the lens weighs 5.63 lbs on it's own, so shooting hand held is quite taxing, and you're generally better off using a tripod.
I couple next to me made the usual comment of how large the lens was, but were actually quite nice, so I offered her a few shots with it, given her SD card would work in the camera.
I watched her try and compose her shot, hand-held, with the LCD screen, without it even being on live-view.
After I sighed, I taught her all about what a view finder is.
