What are some funny things you've heard people say about computers, or beliefs that they have had about just general things that are obviously not true.
for me there are two that come to mind:
The IT administrator at my middle school said that the internet would fill up eventually. yeah, he did. he is also still the IT person at that school, I'm pretty tempted to post his email here for you all to have fun spamming it but I'm sure there would be some legal charges.
Also, one of my teachers last year said that their professor was completely convinced that wall outlets (in the USA) produced 120 Volts DC! (for those of you who aren't in the USA, 120 Volts AC is the main standard for wall outlets. I'm sure that most of you know that 120 Volts DC would be just a crazy amount of power)
So what are some funny stories that you all have heard, been a part of over your lives?
