They should teach it to elementary students, and again in high school. That, and how you properly use a search engine, digital reference library, and photocopier.
I actually have no idea how to use a photocopier. Never needed to use one. It would be nice to know though, since I'm inevitably going to have to at some point, and will look like an idiot when I have to spend ages figuring it out.
You put the paper you want to copy in the slot, you enter the number of copies you want and then you press the button.
Well, yeah. 'ages' may have been an exaggeration - it's hardly going to be impossibly complex. But you know what I mean.
Although actually, the ones they have at uni are these strange combined photocopier/printer/scanner things, and they are pretty complicated. They have touch screens and the interface is terrible.
Then you have to put it in the photocopier mode meaning you have to press one more button.
No, no, no. I have to log in first, which means either scanning my ID card in a non-existant scanner, or typing in my username and password manually on the touch screen. That takes me to the "My jobs" screen, which (usually) has any pending print jobs I've submitted, which is all I've used it for so far (to print them I have to select one, then go to "tasks" then "send" (because "print" would be too descriptive). This needs to be done individually for each job). There's an "options" menu, within which there's a "mode options" menu, which I assume is where you switch to photocopy/scan mode, but since I've never actually tried, I have no idea.
I was just making a rude comment about the inconvenience of using the university library, like I said, I've never actually tried to photocopy anything before
