For those of you who are looking for this British series 'The IT Crowd, it's showing on Netflix at the time of writing this. www.netflix.com/watch/70140450?source=35
Yeah, some IT mangers are almost this clueless about IT. I once had a boss who will use "we" when talking about the software I build, but then would switch to "you" when error shows.
I worked with an IT manager like that. He had little practical knowledge, but he was good and admitted it, and he always had my back. When he did admit it to me, I was puzzled because he had a CS degree. He said "Yeah, I studied computer science. 30 years ago! I studied assembly and cobalt, data structures and algorithms. I've been a Manager for 15+ years, I haven't setup a server or network in almost two decades, its what I pay you for"
Imagine! They use computers to make money, have no idea how to use them properly, then scorn and mock those who can actually FIX their "great machines" to allow them to continue making money! Makes one want to rage quit civilization itself. (Not the Sid Meier's variety though.)
Yep. Especially the bit when Denholm congratulates everyone and their dog except "Mark and Ray". Used to work for a FTSE 100 household name and if you were based outside of London and had any technical knowledge at all, you can forget about promotion.
@@deathpyre42 she's a rarity for sure. I have had some IT managers who were put in charge on account of them being made redundant from another department and their grading meant they were put in the only management position available at the time. IT. Some are nice and try to manage the people and leave technology to the experts. Some are nightmare who hallucinate technical prowess because they're in charge and view any attempt at discussion as "insubordination".
That's ridiculous! The Internet is actually stored on a floppy diskette in my home office filing cabinet. Don't worry- I did a backup copy and it's stored in a locked drawer.
Not anymore. I stole the Internet three weeks ago. As soon as I can find a computer with a floppy drive, I'm deleting Google! Soon, everyone will be forced to use Bing! MUAHAHAHAHA!!!
@@MubashirullahD For the really obvious cases? Blood, of course! Seriously though, as the other guy noted they were a consultancy firm, they'd be hired by companies or people to sort their problems. I guess you're thinking about "in-house" IT, like the people in the IT Crowd.
I worked with computers for years without realising I was in IT. YES... Turning it off and back on again DOES work.... and does so for almost anything with a PCU.... I've turned off/on a Steam cleaner to fix an issue (albeit temporarily). Red is at the end of the colour spectrum so is faster than other colours, which is why Ferraris' are painted red... (We convinced an Electrical Cert tech of this one).
Hilariously, red is actually a longer wavelength than blue, so it has less energy. This would make is slower if light didn't travel at the speed of light.
@@TheButlerNZ the most effective way to paint a Ferrari, hypothetically, would be a matte black front and a glossy white back, so the light would bounce off an exert a tiny amount of force, the way a lightsail works.
My teacher once asked me to help fix something on her computer, I looked at the problem and told her to turn it off then on, she rolled her eyes and let out a sigh like I knew nothing about computers, then she calls our school IT to help her and they give her the same response I have her
I am the school IT guy. September is the worst for this. Hundreds of dumb teachers with similar problems. Some of them wait hours and never think to check that the power switch is turned on. Look after your teachers kids cause no one else will.
@@danielharvison7510 Yer an idiot. My mother was a teacher and a very capable woman. I suppose you are an example of 'Those who can't teach, cant _____!"
My kids love this show. When ever someone has device issues you can hear them saying "have you tried turning it off and on again" or "do you even know how to work a computer" love it.
It really is amazing how little people know about their computers. I started out before the "IBM" really came out....had a Timex computer and an Atari (wrote my MS Thesis with an Atari!). Then I bought my first "IBM" computer.....a big, bad 286 running at a blazing 10 Mhz with 640K ram, and a 10 MB hard disk.....LOL. I remember I was the one using Edlin to build a menu system for my work colleagues who couldn't figure out how to load a program from the DOS prompt. I've only bought one other computer since 1986....all the rest I have built myself....from Intel to Cyrix to AMD But I guess it's just the age and time. I came a bit after the electronic Heathkits so I couldn't tell you much about how a radio and radio crystal works.....a tiny bit before my time.
Goes to show how old this episode is when everyone pulls out digital cameras instead of smartphones. You were less likely to carry a camera in those days than any kind of phone.
See this is why people get confused with computer things. When they use jargon. Technically it should be called ITT because it is one of those TLA's made up from another word InTerneT. But another company was using that one.
I work as a technician for photobooths in city halls. and i also handle the helpdesk, you cannot believe how little civil service People understand about computers. Often i get a calls like this: "we had an issue with the booth so we unplugged it, but now it doesnt work at all" or the classic "it shows a white screen with Tiny Little images on it. We cant take pictures" (they are refering to desktop screen) and so on...
Not that I know the first thing about growing mycelium, but wouldn't that only work in certain climates? Also, wouldn't the mycelium give off spores that could harm people's lungs? I'm not saying it can't be cool, it just seems like there's a TON of hurdles people would have to jump over to make that work.
Ok, but, wouldn't the joke about the internet backfire spectacularly if the people in the audience did know it was a lie? I wondered that when I watched that episode and here I am again with more questions.

im an IT guys myself. the more "stuff" you have on your desktop., the more luckily you have no idea whats going on in your pc. my desktop is just a black background and black task bar with very few app on the desktop because i like it neat and i could just Win+R anything i really wanna find. ppl always ask me if i just used this pc and they have no idea i use it 100 times more than them.
I disagree, desktop icons are the same program shortcuts just located in a different place. A shortcut or app icon on the desktop does not mean a background running program.
When I was in college for a Master's in Computer science and engineering, none of my classmates know even the basics, you won't believe this, one girl captures the screen through her phone camera and sends it to me through WhatsApp and asks me "should I click this download button to download the file?" for a google drive link that I sent her for the file that she asked me to send.
I'm an accounting graduate with bunch of IT engineers in my friends who act just like this woman. I feel so intelligent when I'm around them. Many of them don't even know how to install an OS in the PC.

As a person who works in IT I have to say the IT crowd is surprisingly accurate in it portrayal of what it's like to work IT in the corporate world.
Imagine! They use computers to make money, have no idea how to use them properly, then scorn and mock those who can actually FIX their "great machines" to allow them to continue making money!
