I just had to explain a friend of mine, an "engineering" student, how to copy and paste text in MS Word over the phone for half an hour. It's 12:30 in the night and I am frustrated as fuck

Mechanical engineer?
Software engineer?
An actual engineer?

Depending on your answer then yes it’s acceptable or completely unacceptable to not know how to copy/paste.

@C0D4 a final year civil engineer, but given how many project reports have to be made in the four years of engineering, and computer programming subjects being part of the curriculum I expected him to know copy pasting in MS Word.

@Ikun what a tool

@C0D4 how can it be acceptable for any kind of engineer in 2017 to not know basic computing tasks or fucking Google and figure out in 2 seconds ? Any engineer nowadays goes through computational and/or programming courses due to how much PC-aided is engineering now

Woooow...

@Nitroretro Never underestimate the stupidity of people.

@Snatched not all humans are equally gifted in the ctrl/cmd + c/v knowledge.

@Snatched One of the aero engineers doesn't own a phone or laptop, he prints out his timetable from the uni desktops every week... 🙃

@duncanrhamill of that's due to an economic reason I can (kinda) understand (not rly because you can get something very very cheap) but if that is by choice then 🙃🙃
