What's offensive about being ignorant of technical matters?
- tptacek 11y agoObviously, because that creates the presumption that the thoughts and opinions of dads (or moms, or grandfathers, or whatever) regarding technology can be dismissed. Ask a simple question, get a simple answer.
- bcook 11y agoI always thought a statement of someone's ignorance was more or less a statement of fact, vs questioning someone's abilities or intelligence, which are considered insults. Whether the implication was intended to be negative... I dunno. Sorry about my sub-par manners today.
