I'd like to remind everyone that 99.9999% of people we interact with on a daily basis refer to their monitor as their computer and their case as their hard drive.
Fewer still would know the difference between Mb and MB.
I think the key problem here is that we get hold of these toys without even the slightest clue about how they work. That being said, I can honestly claim that there are few, if any, objects (appliances, vehicles, etc.) that I use that I don't at least have a basic understanding about how they work. I think we sell ourselves short when we don't try to gain a fundamental understanding of the tools we take for granted.
I know about it.
I knew there were Mb and MB, but I did not know the measure difference. The one I did not had a clue about were about KiB.
I am the computer guru (class mates do not ask the teacher) and I come with 2-3 mates a day asking me:
-Hey, my computer does not work
-It is working. I see the leds on.
-I do not, there is no image in the screen.
-Please, PUSH THE FU******* POWER ON BOTTON AT THE SREEN! Next time, please, remind the computer is the CPU, and the monitor is the screen.
-The computer was not the box, monitor, keyboard, and so on?
*I do go rolf at this point
-(Teacher): I think I will have to make another exam about computers and peripherals
I can tell about a mess with a keyboard and another one with a USB device... at the computering subject, when we had the exam the day before
