    I once had a support call where I told the customer to click the Start button and they didn’t know what it was. I clarified by saying that it was the button in the corner of the screen. They did it and then said that their entire screen turned black.

    Apparently they’d pushed the power button on their monitor.

      When I was young, older people thought the monitor was the computer and had no idea there was a chassi under the desk connected to it. :)

        When I was young people thought the keyboard was the computer. And they were right.
