If you don't want to become a "computer freak", then perhaps watching
TV would be more suitable for you.

That has got to be one of the stupidest comments mate.

lot's of people are not computer geeks. nor do they want to be.
I see a lot of geeks that are borderline addicts that have no social life.

Before you start generalising which group you wish to belong to,
accept that others use the internet as a tool and don't wish to become one.
