I will be extremely surprised if at least one of you is not called upon as an expert by an honestly concerned and bewildered parent.
I will also be extremely surprised if this article does not provoke many parents to unjustly accuse their technologically savvy children of antisocial, criminal behavior. Many of these parents may be considered the technology gurus in their local communities, at home, work, school, church, etc., but if their experience is limited to commercial applications running exclusively on Microsoft platforms and a handful of Microsoft's arch rivals, then they may have no knowledge or experience in any of the many, many areas where this article makes false or misleading (but funny) statements. If you can save a family from descending into an ugly, damaging conflict, it will be very worthwhile. Do not disagree with the parent on technological grounds. They may not understand what you are saying. Their children may have already attempted to argue against the article on the basis of facts, not been believed, and the parents may have been more entrenched in their false opinions. Ask them to look around at other articles on the site. All of them are jokes. They will get some of the jokes and will eventually realize that they are all jokes. Even this one that plays on their fears, and incites them with a lot of nonsense.
