TECHNOLOGICAL IGNORANCE - CAUSES AND CONSEQUENCES

The research carried out by the vouchercloud.net coupon site showed that the viruses of ignorance in the technology industry is so widespread even in the United States by intimidating those who believed it could hold the despicable scepter of not-knowing. The 11 percent of Americans think Html is an infectious disease that is transmitted by sexual intercourse, not imagining that instead it is simply the hypertext language 

that will draw up the web pages.

Vouchercloud decided to verify the level of computer literacy of its users, not on a whim but to improve dialogue with its catchment area and to avoid any kind 

of misunderstanding in communications with the market.

One American in four (27% of the sample "respondent") is adamant that the Gigabyte is a unit of measurement for calculating the required storage capacity of a medium, but a deadly insect that usually is located in South America (with reasonable hesitancy to deal with travel over there every time you hear about a 500 gigabyte "infested" disk).

23 percent of respondents had "confessed" that - music to our ears - MP3 is the name or identifier of the famous robot of the film Star Wars, confusing the steel C1P8 with audio files that we used to listen to. Fortunately are only 18 out of 100 individuals that match the Blu-Ray (disc format for high-resolution video) to a marine animal, probably similar, in their mind, a dolphin or a small whale. But it is not over. Thanks to the quick read of "quiz", many have confused "software" with "soft wear" (literally "soft garment") so the 15% recognized the regular programs runningon your computer as "comfortable clothing."

The consequences of the digital ignorance flock especially in the workplace. The do not know how to use new technologies in fact automatically excludes many people from the possibility of having access to a qualified employment. Of course, you do not need to be a programmer to perform (for example) normal secretarial duties or concierge. But it becomes more widespread, for activities of this type, the need to know how to send 

an email or create a scan to photocopy a document.

It may seem paradoxical, but still many users do not know how to use paypal or Generela as you receive or make a payment online. 

And many are wondering how you log on to a Skype video call.
