I hope you weren't too smug about knowing to turn on the monitor. I can't remember the last time I've had to do so. Remember, there are no intuitive interfaces, only familiar ones.
- wyclif 9y agoA lot of these kids probably learned to program on a laptop, so they've never used anything that didn't wake from sleep upon opening.
- _betty_ 9y agoA lot don't have a clue about programming before uni they just like playing games and saw the word computer in the degree
- stinos 9y agoI can't remember the last time I've had to do so. I do, but that's mainly because of working with older and/or more professional devices which don't (want to?) consume power even when technically off. But for the rest, yup, doesn't really happen that often. there are no intuitive interfaces, only familiar ones Most screens in the office, when 'off', look like a matte black box with a single clearly visible button with a dim light. You can claim it's familiar because nearly every techincal appliance has a power button, but on the other hand: I am quite sure if you'd give this thing to a homo sapiens or similar, arguably not familiar with a button, it would not take too long befoer that button would get pressed.
