So this isn't your usual "what do you call your job" thread. Rather, this is a half-rant about how most people genuinely know nothing about technology.
So, I do web design. I create websites. It's not a very technically challenging job for the most part. On more than one occasion, I've had clients, friends and even family members hear the phrase "Web design", they think "IT", and then proceed to ask me if I can fix their computer.
Don't get me wrong, I probably could fix their crappy laptop and upgrade their RAM, but I'm just perplexed at how, in this day and age, do people still not know anything about the internet other than the fact that it involves "computers and stuff"?
It's like asking an UBER driver if he knows how fix your car.
I'm just curious if anyone here has had a similar experience?
