Today, we I found a clothing catalog in the mail. At the end, it said "Men's items are just a click away at *insert their website which I can't remember now*!" I went to their website, and unless you are on the website's homepage with your mouse right over the link to the men's clothing, you are not "just a click away."
So I tried to figure out how many clicks it would actually take if your computer was off, and you wanted to get to the men's clothing...
Click #1- After turning on the computer, you click on your account.
Click #2- After logging in, you click on your browser of choice.
Click #3- After your browse loads, you click on the address bar and type in the website.
Click #4-After the website's home screen loads, you click on the tab that reads "MEN."
Click #5- There aren't actually any men's clothing items on that page, so you then have to select a category of stuff.
Oh wait, there's more than clicks!
Don't forget the pushing of buttons/typing on the keyboard!
So...
1 button push to turn on the computer
1 press of the enter key to enter your password
12 letters/symbols to type for the URL
The accurate advertisement would be:
Just 5 clicks, 1 button push, 1 key to press, and 12 typed characters away!
Unfortunately, it's not as catchy, but hey, it's honest.
(Psst, you know what is just a click away once you have turned on your computer and opened your browser? The Why Not 2000 blog's latest posts! Well, assuming you've bookmarked it...)
