Pretty much. When most people still are afraid to use a computer beyond the basics, they rely on companies or techie friends for their information. Pick 90 percent of people over the age of 40 and ask them questions regarding computers. Most would have a hard time answering anything beyond the routine (checking email, browsing, etc). I'm sure this even applies to the younger crowd too who could care less about internet, beyond myspace.
ORLY?

I know some 60 year olds that know more about the internet than some so-called experts.

You love generalizations, don't you?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21026685 Fri, 29 Aug 2008 13:44:59 EDT Re: Baffle them with BS http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21025553 Fluke :

HEY! Im 46! So i guess im in the 10% :P I think Americans are smarter then the media gives us credit. What I dont like is we are flooded with so much advertising that stretches the truth so far that as a whole we are used to it. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21025553 Fri, 29 Aug 2008 10:45:32 EDT Re: Baffle them with BS http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21020823 en102 : California's propositions end up this way ALL the time.
Those for and against propositions claim similar issues for or against. In the end, most end up confused, thanks to spinning the facts, and you may end up with something that's actually 'good' or 'bad' being voted in or out for all the wrong reasons.

that's why they all really like "bundles" - makes it nearly impossible to compare prices between competitors (assuming there is a competitor)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21020003 Thu, 28 Aug 2008 11:42:20 EDT Baffle them with BS http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21019872 moonpuppy : Standard corporate procedure.
