Comment IT Failing NOT User Failing (Score 0) 369

As an IT leader/decision maker in a corporate environment, I would consider this a personal failing and an IT department failing. We (IT) are the experts. We have the skills and knowledge. If someone does not have the skills or knowledge to use a corporate tool (PC, server, network, etc...) it is OUR responsibility to provide training.

I have a "technology orientation class" periodically. 60 minutes of "do this, don't do that". It eliminates the "I didn't know" and "how do I..." problems.

It is arrogant, ill-informed and misguided to demand that an end user know how to make your job easier.

Also, since when did evolution stop? Who knows if in another 100 million years, the whales may evolve microscopic hairs.

Whales seem more likely to evolve a digestive system that drawn nutrition from waste plastic in water than microscopic hairs that make them more efficient swimmers. Evolution has to do with increased survival. Swimming slightly more efficiently would have less of an impact than the capacity to eat the slurry of waste we are dumping in the oceans.

People often confuse evolution with improvement. Evolution is adaption. Pure and simple.
