Most Technologically Illiterate Person EVUH!
 

OhMyGawdOhMyGawdOhMyGawdOhMyGawd!!

I think I just spoke to the most technologically illiterate person EVER!

Here was the conversation. I didn't get his actual name, so I made one up for him.

(One note, whenever you see a reference to MIT, it's not really the Massachusets Institute of Technology. I changed my school's real name/abbreviation for privacy purposes. But other than that, this was the exact conversation.)

Me: IT Help Desk...
Rashawn: Yeah, I filled out a job application on-line and I need your dot com number.
Me: Our what?
Rashawn: Your dot com number.
Me: I don't understand your question.
Rashawn: I filled out an application and I need to get back in so I need your dot com number.
Me: Our dot com number?
Rashawn: Yeah, like mit.com
Me: You mean mit.edu?
Rashawn: Yeah, that. What's your dot com number?
Me: Em Aye Tee Dot Ee Dee You
Rashawn: So mit.com?
Me: No. mit dot E as in Edward, D as in Dog, U as in Uncle.
Rashawn: Okay, so mit.dd...
Me: (interrupting) No. EEEEEE DEEEEEE YOUUUUU
Rashawn: So mit.edu.com?
Me: No dot com, just mit.edu.
Rashawn: okay thanks

:eek:

I wonder what LoT's dot com number is...

1-800-lot-comm

My agency actually had to register a .com address so people who were clueless about .gov could find us. :rolleyes:

216.227.217.215



Yes, I know that if you plug that numeric URL in, it just brings you to Lunar Pages, but I don't feel like taking it further

Yeah, that individual should fit in real well at MIT.
