It's amazing how dumb most people are regarding computers. I have an older friend whose computer I repair. He refers to the entire system as "the computer" and the computer itself as "the brain".
I installed firefox on my mother's computer and she asked me what "that godzilla thing" was on the desktop.
All the "free search thingey" and "spy privacy intruder" icons didn't seem to bother her though.
The reasons why technology can cause stress
-it doesn't do what it is supposed to (defective)
-more complicated and less effective that old fashioned way
-stupid people can't understand it and bug you to make it work
