i don't know why i thought of this now, but there was this student i met the other day in a lab that was kinda "the computer guy" for his lab. he was talking about how he set up the wireless connection for the lab, etc. he went on to talk about how he did some WarDriving the other day, etc. pretty interesting stuff. i figure "ok, this architecture major is into computer stuff, right on."
he goes on to say how he built a Pringles© can WiFi antenna. so im a bit more impressed. thats some serious geekitude.
but then i ask him a few simple questions about the network setup and he has no idea what im talking about. later he asks me how he can add a printer to his computer and how to change the computer's hostname.
wtf? its like he and his technophobe identical twin switched places without me looking.
