Everyone Makes Digital Blunders
from the how-embarrassing dept
Time and experience with the internet or other digital technologies hasn't meant any decrease in folks making some sort of digitally influenced faux pas. It seems that just about everyone has a story of sending the wrong email to the wrong person, causing quite a bit of embarrassment. According to this study, 52% of people admitted to causing some sort of "digital blunder", with the majority involving incorrectly addressed email. Another popular problem involves giving your spell-checker too much credit, and letting it make changes that you didn't intend on important documents. It looks like most of these mistakes are of the "quick click" variety - where you end up clicking through on something without really looking at what you're doing. Ah, the cost of convenience.

Yes, please send me twelve (12) issues of Teen Dirt magazine at eighty percent off the newsstand price. I also would like to receive the complimentary motorized "massager" unit with my subscription.

A couple of years ago, I forced myself into the habit of opening and checking any file I attach to an email - after its attached and before I send it. That simple act has saved me a couple of times!
