understanding tech is still nerdy

What is grating when non-tech-literate people come up to me and tell me what great things their I-Toy can do, while other brands could do the same for a decade.

"Look how great my Iphone is, it has a talking cat and a fart app" (The fart app was in the top 10 downloads for a very long time in Germany, simple humour for simple people)
