Well, some of us may have been using computers since before you were born! Do you really think we need someone to explain it all to us?

I have a question.
The Bear key on my keyboard keeps getting stuck. So when I want to type Dragon I type Bear by mistake. Why is that?

What year was Tim Berners-Lee born? No wiki-ing, now. If you're the youth expert you need to know this shit, so we don't have to.

I'm feeling bad now - I'm sure Blacklight means well.

Tell me about Instagram because I don't understand it. Occasionally I google "Instagram+name of teenage niece" (because I fret about her well-being for assorted reasons) and can see lots of photos of her pouting - is that because she has no security settings, or are there no security settings on Instagram? Also - what's the point? You post a pouty photo, someone comments - how is that different to FB?
