ok this isnt the first time i saw this, i was showing people the new iPhone 3G, and everyone thought it meant 3GB, what total morons

Posted by: Saoirse1916

Not morons, just not tech-savvy folks. I heard the same response from two people who I talked to about the 3G phone. "I've got the 8G, so that's better..."

The grammar is horrible. I'm trying to understand what the person asking the question is saying.

It hurts, it hurts so bad. People like those are the reason for my headaches.

Using Yahoo Answers instead of HoFo for finding out phone questions is like using Yahoo Search instead of Google to find search results for anything.

In all seriousness, thank god that those morons don't come here often. Otherwise we'd all be answering "My phone dies when I don't charge it, what do I do?" questions every 3 seconds.

and of course it's a girl who is responding, but it's ok we look down on these people sometimes but they are more concerned about other things, fox example girls want to get their hair done (or "did" or whatever they call it these days) and try and look hot for a bf so he can take them out. They don't have a passion for tech. So yeah it's funny but don't think they are stupid for not knowing that "g" is for generation and gig or gb would be better when talking about capacity.

It's not that funny nor stupid.... Not everyone lives inside HoFo you know.... if u kept hearing 8g and 16g, it's really to get confused over 3g if your not tech savvy..... and if anyone was techie, they wouldn't ask/answer on yahoo..... so yesh, it's not out of this world..... Iwantawhiteiphone! Doesn't have to be 8g cuz all my data would fit in the 3g :P

Dude, it's already starting ...

That's just a more recent example. But it's been going on for a while.

I definitely realize that the iPhone brings a whole new class of people into the market - and that's fine. It's actually a good thing, believe it or not - now that we have the App Store, the larger the iPhone market is ... the more developers will focus on the platform.

But when people aren't willing to do even the most basic levels of research for themselves, that's when forums go downhill fast. If we end up like Yahoo! Answers here ... I have a feeling I'll be visiting a whole lot less in the future.
