21st century failI do freelance IT, mostly troubleshooting networking issues or organisational strategy (yawn).
I got called to an office last week as the network was down.
I check the router and the server, everything seems fine.
Checking one of the pc's, I can see the server and network shares. Everythings fine.
The problem was, they all had their homepage in IE set to a website that had gone down.
None of them knew how to enter a web address to try going somewhere else.
This was an office with about 15 people, mixed age group and experience. I still cant believe it.
I had to show each one of them how to change it.
A few days later I got called back as someone hadnt been there that day and needed to be shown how to do it.
Amazing
