Really insightful. You're right -- we can criticize people till we're blue in the face, but that doesn't effect change. Thanks for the post! Great article Kirsten. Really insightful.

Trading out the external display for internal imaging - i.e. Brain device. Intel says we have it by 2020 which seems to reflect the emerging technologies of today. We can already reconstruct brain particles and instruct them to learn how to fly in a simulator. This technology will get rid of silicon and integrate better with the human mind. We can also already transmit images electronically to blind people causing them to see. The next leap will be a biological implant capable of creating a display from the human eyes, linking up to the internet and even regulating the host's vital statistics. Most technophiles have a name for the moment this device is implemented - the SINGULARITY. This is when all mankind will become a single conscious tied together for the duration of a new age. We Christians call the device something else and have other reasons to look forward to this moment... The future? Trading out the external display for internal imaging — i.e. Brain device.

They skip over things they don't understand. They've learned to block out distracting elements: ads, widgets, links, ads, searchbars, etc and go for only what they recognize: in this case, the Facebook logo. Visual cues other than words. My husband and his brother constantly have to tell my mother-in-law to "read the screen," because unless it leaps out at her and takes up the whole screen (over-simplified), she can't find it.

The fact, plain and simple, is that some people are just completely oblivious and don't pay attention to their surroundings. It's no wonder they couldn't figure out what was going on. If 300 people had the problem out of 400 million, that's...0.000075% of Facebook users who probably have much bigger issues than simply not recognizing that RWW is, in fact, *not* Facebook. Yup...sounds about right... In this particular instance, it’s not Google, RWW, or even the Internet’s fault that all of those people got upset at not being able to figure out how to login.
