    I asked someone if he had a desktop, and didn't know what that was. He also didn't know about laptops, tablets, netbooks, etc. He knew about the iPhone. That's it. Sad, isn't it?

      Ah, you too must be unfamiliar with computing devices which do not fit in your pocket. :rolleyes:

              Usage of phone for Social Networking Websites is now huge. That's why that guy could not even think of any device other than phone, which can access Facebook, so sad !!! ;P

                  It is sad, even the farm workers I know know what a desktop and laptop is. Just not sure if they know about tablets

                    Not really. This person is a customer, who will have no choice but to buy what we produce. I'm quite happy that there are a lot of people who are utterly illiterate in the world of computing.

                      Don't even have a smart phone. Use to have calculators that were too big for the pocket, but my phone does have a calculator, but not a very capable one.
