My 3 year old monkey(who obviously can't read/write) uses the computer all the time and I'm amazed at what she gets up to (ok she's not posting on slashdot, but give her time). She can switch on, start up the web browser, (her home page is the BBC kids page CBeebies) and she just looks around, finds the games to play, works out what to do and plays them. When she gets bored she goes back and chooses something else - painting a picture, watching a video etc. She only ever asks for help when she gets stuck in a dead end (like when she needs to download an add-on). I imagine the Monkey v4.5 is considerably more advanced.

What else would you expect from a company which pays a pittance to its employees (only they aren't of course, otherwise it would no doubt break a few labout laws). From a quick look round the net being a guide for Cha Cha appears to be a job which requires skill, pays you only when questions are asked (so you can be sitting about idle and unpaid), and even then only pays at a rate below just about any western minimum wage. If these guides were sitting at home waiting for deliveries of buttons to sew for a few pence a time there would be a documentary being made about how evil their bosses are. How dumb (or desperate) are people to be cha cha guides? Much of the internet relies on people gifting their services (e.g. the advice available on this site and forums throughout the net) for a variety of reasons (they like to help, they know they'll get advice/help in return later). Cha Cha is taking that positive environment and trying to extract a profit from other people's goodwill. Many of the guides probably enjoy giving advice and would be doing something similar on other sites so a few beans in payment seems like a good deal. But do we really want to go down this road? Some people are always looking to extract money from the work of others - do the right thing and ignore Cha Cha!
