I have trouble with the universal remote.
The reality is that I simply don't find technology, the computer, or the Internet all that interesting. I have trouble with the remote because I never turn on TV so I never figured out how to use the remote to do so. I'd rather read a book.
Similarly, except for MR I am not part of any "social" online group -- I have never been to Facebook or MySpace or any similar site, for example.
I use my computer and the Internet as work tools, nothing more (again, except for MR).
