here's the trick to making sure this doesn't happen: Actually read what the device is telling you and google anything you don't understand

Every time I see someone who has no idea how to deal with a gadget, application, or device they have no idea what the error they are getting is, haven't read what was on the screen at the time of the problem, and haven't checked to see if the internet has already solved the problem for them.

Don't get lazy, be willing to put in a little time and thought, and technology will always be yours to command.

My 83 year old Grandma is so lost with technology, but she does say it is great to be living in the future. She can't believe she was 'with' 'it' almost 70 years ago (For those who complain about the 90's being 'forever 10 years ago', her decade (50's) was 60 years ago and according to her the passing of time does not slow down.)). Kinda sad if you think about it.

Some friends of mine just told me that 2011 was the year of post-dubstep...

[–]koolkid005 4 points5 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Post dubstep has been a thing since 2009. Mount Kimbie, James Blake, Koreless, that's what post-dubstep is. Now I personally hate the name post dubstep and much more prefer future garage or UK bass, but they are not wrong.

I have a question, I stopped listening to dubstep and such for a few years, what happened? I thought like kode9 and the space ape or vex'd were dubstep. Now people are saying skrillex is dubstep, and that sounds like a completely different genre of music. Just seems strange to say that both artists are from the same scene.

[–]koolkid005 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Don't listen to reddit. Reddit is fucking dumb and they hear dubstep so they immediately associate it to what is popular right now in American media which just happens to be fucking skrillex and brostep of it's ilk. Skrillex really doesn't make dubstep the only thing his music shares with most dubstep is the 1 kick 1 snare thing which he gives a lot of leeway. Basically it's electro-house with aggressive 1/2 step drum beats and lot of formant synths.

Kode9 and Vex'd to me have always been dubstep, I never really listened to much of the stuff that was popular here in the US. Check out Ikonika, Rustie, Starkey, Optimum, Mala, James Blake, Mount Kimbie, Burial, Pangaea, Jam City, Scuba, Vex'd, and Kuedo. Some of that is a lot different from where dubstep was in 2008, but it's the direction it's going.

Eh, I think it's an overblown worry. If you're interested in new things and willing to drop your preconceptions at the door, there's no reason you can't stay with it. I had an uncle who was 70 years old but very interested in computers and how they worked - he obviously didn't grow up around them, but as a smart, interested person he kept pace. Just don't fall into the trap of thinking anything new is automatically bad, and you'll be fine.

Interesting.. Music has always been a big part of my life and i have been listening to quite a lot of electronic music. I can enjoy some more abstract music like squarepusher or autechre where there is some roots in pop or jazz. But dubstep (in all honesty i think my main issue is with what people call brostep) mostly makes me feel like i have ADD.

I can't facebook.

There, I said it. Facebook used to be a thing you did to register for dorms. It was a contact list for the kids in my classes. Once I registered for school, I got one. And that's the last time I used it. I never saw the point. People put all this goddamned time into taking pictures and putting them on the computer and amassing large groups of friends.

When I want to hang out, I call my friends. A few are photographers but we never take pictures of what we're doing unless we thought to bring the cameras along, at which point we put them up on the website for the other friends to download for posterity. It just seems like a HUGE waste of time when I already work 75-80 hours a week, run, have a relationship, and run a blog about reading books (which i have to read), and take care of myself in general.

How do people have TIME for facebook? I just figured it's popularity was because of the large amounts of unemployed people.

I wouldn't have had time for it when I was a tween between sports, friends and school. I wouldn't have had time for it when I was in high school with sports, boyfriends, friends, band, work, school, and college app shit. I didn't have time for it in college with work, school, and friends and I sure as hell don't have time for it now.

I guess I'm just amazed at what people do with their free time. Playing a game with friends, exploring the world, or pushing yourself physically or mentally? Nope. Re contextualized reality with strangers.

[–]Jackjoyce8 15 points16 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Are you sure that you would have no time for it? Given that you're posting on reddit wouldn't this count as free time?

It doesn't really take much time at all, just a quick check to see what your friends are up to, or arrange events quickly and easily.

If anything it saves me a ton of time, just creating an event and adding all of my friends to it takes much less time than calling them all.

[–]lacheur42 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Obviously not OP, but I get more interesting conversations and information from random redditors than I could ever get from talking with the mediocre assortment of high school alumni and relatives you end up with on Facebook. What's the point?

[–]ambiguousexualcoment 1 point2 points ago

[–]lacheur42 1 point2 points ago

I hang out with my interesting friends in real life. Facebook is only useful for keeping up with people you rarely see. And there's a reason I rarely see them.

[–]1CUpboat 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

but how many of your friends are actually interesting? and you would normally see them in real life.

[–]Terr_ 7 points8 points ago*

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

About Facebook:

  • I've had an account for a very long time.
  • I'm confident I can learn and use all its newer features.
  • I have enough raw free time to use it.
  • But I'm still an introvert and don't have the motivation.

I see all the extroverts putting up floods of pictures and "OMG LOL" posts, and I just don't receive whatever kind of extra energy they seem to from the process. Going on Facebook is a chore, not just of filtering out the dross, but also in terms of worrying about my own footprint.

It's not really an issue with time or computer skill, it's about patterns in relating to people.

[–]Don_Andy 0 points1 point ago

I'm manipulative little asshole myself and very careful what I let different people think of me, so if I would just put one of these personalities on Facebook it would just ruin all others for me.

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

You seem to have this preconceived idea of what you think Facebook is. While you're correct in that many people use it simply to photo whore and amass a ridiculous amount of friends (that they don't even know), many of us use it as an efficient method of communication. I only friend people I am good friends with so when I log on I see what they're up to. This is great because a lot of people I'm close to don't live very close to me.

Sure, there's phones and texting, but Facebook is just a more fun way to keep in touch with people.

[–]pseudosara 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I agree. I've culled my friends list to only people I care about, so my newsfeed is filled with the happenings of actual friends and family. I recently moved 2500 miles away from all of my family and long-term friends, but because of Facebook I really don't feel like I left everyone behind. I still get to know where they had lunch, what movies they're seeing, what's on their mind, all the stuff you'd know if you lived right near them.

But there's also this weird "high school reunion party that's happening forever" aspect to it.

The whole point of facebook is people talking about their lives and sharing it with their friends. That's cool if you're not interested, it seems like a lot of people are.

I don't like when people post stuff to facebook from /r/pics or other stuff they find on the internet. Facebook should be about you and your friends' lives outside in the meatspace.

reddit is for news aggregation and forums about things which I can't discuss without an anonymous front. It's not replacing something, I didn't digg or traverse the SA forums before.

Facebook is replacing something I do with my phone and website, only it takes longer and there's more red tape. It's not a good website. At all.

I think I found the answer to your question. Most people do not work this much. Imagine if you worked a more typical 40 to 50 hour week.

That said I hate facebook because every post ends up sounding like a conceited "look how cool I am" contest.

Just because you don't facebook doesn't mean it's not a good medium to chat to your friends with.

I started university in September and all of my friends went to different unis to me, so FB is a nice way to informally keep in contact with people.

Also it's a great way to share pictures (because I like having pictorial memories of things, it's nice), to keep adrift of the stuff happening in my societies, a good way to invite people to parties or events or whatever.... I don't update my status every 5 minutes or even every week but FB still plays an active role in my life =/ Don't think there's anything wrong with that.

I just think it's something with my generation (born in 94') and continues now. Many parents are having kids in their 30's so I'm not alone in having old grandparents. My aunt is turning 56 and her twins are 22, I don't see them having kids or a family ANY time soon. My parents were 20 & 23 when married in 72', and had two kids in 79' and 82'...I was just born very very late in their life. My Grandma was a Grandma at 51, now she's 83. I just find it hard to believe people have grandparents my fathers age :P

I only ever listen to the cosmic microwave background radiation. It was good enough for Jesus the Alien, so it's good enough for Jesus the Human (who I am in contact with through the medium of telepathy). Don't be doubting me.

The great thing about that music is every generation gets to discover it for themselves and listen to Whole Lotta Love for the first time. But you probably also listen to contemporary music, whatever that may be.

I think all that is just buying into fads. In my iopinion being with "it" means recognizing the new stuff that has the same merits as the old stuff: this goes for movies, books, music, TV, video games, art, theater, comedy, fashion etc. etc. Just because it is popular with the youths don't mean it is necessarily good or cool--a subjective thing anyway. Basically being with "it" means having some amount of pop cultural literacy and appreciation. Besides, what is in vogue is created by all kinds of people agewise.

[–]TimesWasting 1 point2 points ago

I feel the opposite, just because its popular and cool doesn't mean its bad.

Skinny-jeans, hair hanging out of a beanie, and 80's sneaker rip-offs.

And that's the boys.

It's like someone ran a 80's glam rock bus into a metro-sexual barn dance. I can't even grasp what they would even think is cool about it. It's not rebellious, it's not hip, it doesn't say anything, it didn't even come out of drugs or sex... a total identity crisis. Where the fuck did this crap come from? Someone explain please.

Now that we have the internet it's a lot easier to stay current if you pay attention to what's going on around you. Old people lose touch because they let themselves think that they know everything there is to know about life and they stop learning. With the way things are changing now is a lot easier to understand that you need to put effort into it if you don't want to be left behind like Kirk Cameron.
