Complexity in Simplicity

How often do you hear that Eskimoes have a thousand words for snow? Well, of course they don't. They have one word for snow, one word for sleet, one word for ice... in other words lots of words for different kinds of snow. Flake, crystal, glacial... we have different words too. I think my blog will be as different as all those words but is only about one thing. Not snow, but people and computers. In my job I often have to help people understand how to interact with their PC's in the workplace and I 'm always amazed how difficult a lot of people find it. As usual, everyone assumes something to be complicated when it fact it's all too simple.

So lets keep things nice and simple here.
