No, they're not going to learn how to rip DVDs. They use old technology as if it were new, and they don't know anything beyond the basics, for example, playing a DVD, taking a picture and viewing it on the camera itself. They don't know how to download music, movies, or software, they don't know how to find subtitles for episodes, they don't know anything beyond the basic use of things, both new and old.

The thing is, they don't know anything else, and the old things are different from what they're used to, which is why they might be interested.

Submission + - Slashdot Dies A Slow Death with Crippling Advertisements (slashdot.org) 2

zamboni1138 writes: Anybody familiar with the technology news web forum known as Slashdot have known about the recent decline in quality of stories and comments. Recently Slashdot decided to "upgrade" their advertisement experience resulting in an almost broken user experience for users that implement any kind of ad-blocking technology. Over the last week visitors to the site using ad blockers have noticed a unique experience with javascript alerts explaining "This page could not be loaded properly due to incorrect / bad filtering rule(s) of adblockers in use. Please disable all adblockers to continue using the website. (click OK if you'd like to learn more)". These notices are almost non-stop while trying to load/read a page making the site unusable.
