Your top tech-moment of idiocy...

[NewsBot]

What's the dumbest tech-moment you've ever had? Here's mine:

 

While in highschool I started getting into graphic design, and wanted to get into web-development. Problem was, I had absolutely no clue what web-development was, or how to go about getting started.

 

I had a friend of mine who has a couple years developing pages when I had absolutely no experience what-so-ever. I asked him, "Darrell, will you make me a webpage for $20?" to which he responded, "Just learn the code and do it yourself."

 

"The Code" he says? There's a code that is needed to make webpages? This was just a few weeks after getting my very first computer, so I was still and all-around computer-idiot.

 

"Can you give me the code?" I asked, thinking there was a short series of keystrokes you type into MS-DOS, and *pop*, out comes a webpage. Yes, I seriously thought that.

 

Along with that, I thought "HTML" stood for "Hotmail"*, and "SWF" Stood for "Star Wars File", since one of the earliest flash websites I visited was a Star Wars Website.

 

So what was your pinnacle of stupidity in history?
