[Sigia-l] Don't Make me Learn

[Juan Ruiz]

Emails - think back when you had to describe what is an 'email' to your
parents

Internet Banking - I do remember when people were all confused and
hesitant about using online banking services.

Video Game controllers - starting with 1 single button to multiple
buttons controllers (somebody already mentioned it)

Home networking - wireless and Ethernet. How many households nowadays
have home networks?

iPod? - the circular navigation control...


And I think this list can go forever, after all, for every new
discovery, new concepts had to be taught.

-Juan
