Good point. And to that person with the shaky knowledge; I have found it to be impossible to improve their knowledge. The metaphors Window, Button, Desktop, Folder, File, Program, URL, Google Search is impossible to get them to learn precisely. I have given up.
- alexvoda 4y agoIndeed. I am also in this situation. The refusal to adopt even the idea of metaphors is incredibly frustrating. And metaphors that are used less than every single day are quickly forgotten.
- superchroma 4y agoSadly, yeah. I get it though, it's not their passion or job, they don't want to have to care, same as I don't really want to know how my car works, I just want to drive it and have the radio dial to be the same place it was yesterday when I reach for it. You're better off if you understand things, but there's only so many things in life you can master, and you have to rely on others for everything else.

This application does away with the file and folder metaphor and focuses on albums and pictures. Picasa is now discontinued. And don't get me started with my country's national identity which uses a combination of smart phone and on screen instructions as proof of identity to log in, pay and get onto the netbanks. And they are drifting further and further away from getting it.
