Conciousness Explained

So... my toaster is also concious ... but like with speshal toaster like conciousness! Woot!

On the down side, i wasted 3 years of my life on a cognitive science degree - missing such an obvious answer!

Stop

You forget that users...

... don't normally have a clue. They will simply accept whatever happens to them - without realising that Google has wormed its way further into their lives.

Especially when you get all the annoying toolbars packaged up to install by default... </rant>

Fail. Surely a manufacturers warrenty is applied to the hardware? I suspect Acer do not say "warrenty void if not running MS Windows"

They might say "add a noisey exaust and silly spoiler at your own risk".

Comes down to lack of knowledge again

IMHO the root of the problem is really that the average user does not have a clue what they're doing. We're too busy teaching "ICT" and how to use MS Word.

If we policed our networks rigerously and brought charges against everyone who was "ignorant" we would criminalise 95% of the population!
