What Is It With Young People These Days?

I just found this link totally by accident. Boy, does this person have a bee in their bonnet or what?

If you want the colour ‘blue’ for your background, lady, you just type <bgcolor=”blue”>. You don’t have to use the hex code. But if you want a different shade of blue, you’re gonna have to use the code. I mean, how is the computer going to understand what shade of blue you want? Think, dammit. Computers only understand computer language, just like you probably only speak English. Jeez, if you actually spent the time to learn HTML, you would realise that it isn’t that difficult at all.

Young people these days, they want everything done for them. It makes me ashamed to be one of their number.
