Computer terms 'confuse workers'

BBC NEWS | Technology | Computer terms 'confuse workers':

"Three quarters of workers waste more than an hour a week deciphering what a technical term means, the poll found."


Well, I guess it beats sitting in the toilet reading the newspaper. A lot of people are frustrated by and/or fed up with technology. It generates reams and reams of paper which you then have to "check" and file or hand on. It is brain numbing, mind dulling. Most networks are lumpy and inefficient.Most programmes are glytchy in the workplace. Often you sit waiting for the computer to do something or the company has "blocked" access incase you meddle. Companies are getting what they deserve. I can come home and do things quickly and efficiently . My computer works, my programmes work, I maintain my system. Some places won't even let you have nice pictures and screensavers. Dull, dull, dull. What do you expect workers to do, especially when your interesting job has been turned into a clerical assistant's job because you have a computer? It's worse when you can use a computer but you are constantly patronised by the "technical" people who constantly come up with a list of don't dos. Well, the empire can strike back. At home my computer is my best friend. At work it's a crashingly,dull lump of inefficient plastic. My new catch cry is: "I'd rather not be networked."
