I've just explained to our social media specialist what Usenet is. She'd
never heard of it.

It's just north and west of the IRC Isles near the Sea of Memes.

A bit crap at their job then. A 'specialist' should really know
something about the origins of whatever the specialise in. Or are they
really hoping to spend all their time updating their facebook and
twitter pages while getting paid for it.

Sounds a perfect job for Ogden, thinking about it.

She'll know all about the Internet though: it's what comes up when she
double-clicks the Internet Explorer icon.

Have you explained that in the early days of e-mail, you had to
determine the route that the e-mail would take and type it into the
headers? And the e-mail would typically only take one hop a day, so
e-mailing the US from the UK might take a week or so?

I was explaining to one of my managers about the vampire tap and thick
wire ethernet.

He said 'before my time i'm afraid'

How old is she? SO is 36 and she has still to grasp that 'the web' is not
the same thing as 'the Internet'.
