Wonder what browser they'll propose we use the internet on?

EU populations welcome EU bureaucrats to the 20th century, and inquire when they propose to wake up and join the rest of in the 21st?

These days, for most of the polulation, this is about as useful as offering a fish swimming lessons.

Phishing scams say hi.

I learnt computer literacy as I went, much like real literacy, however it was school that nailed down the basics for that.

I work for an IT company and we have employees that probably shouldn't be allowed Word let alone the internet their IT literacy is that bad. Is it possible realistically to do many jobs now without some IT literacy? what about 10 years from now?

We all know someone that just doesn't do computers, right now that already limits their options. That's fine whilst the old ways are still available. What about when they aren't?

The EU gets a lot of stick and quite rightly, but I think there is a nugget of sense in there.

Yeah, probably, Gunbuster. They're just such a lovely target for ridicule. I really admire whoever came up with that "straight banana" story .... that was a beaut. So daft it might have been true.

It's like the infinity number of monkeys on typewriters coming up with Shakespeare, it some times happens.

One of my main problems with all politians is they are rarely qualified in the fields that they are somehow nominated in. If I ran the books for Hexus you would expect me to at least be qualified in accountancy, Gordon Brown as CoE not so much. Aside from looking like an accountant and being Scottish, well we all know how tight they are! (has anyone from Whitehall been to Scotland in the last 100 years?).

Frankly I'd like literacy and qualification for their positions in our polititians as well. Right now none of them could run a circus in a tent, *cough*, sorry dome.
