      End users didn’t know how email or the world wide web worked once upon a time. There’s that clip of Katie Couric asking her producer “Can you explain what internet is?”

      In the years since, they figured it out.

      And as I pointed out recently, people figured out how to play WoW even if you have to pick a server before you can start playing.
