How do you explain the difference between JPEG and a MS Word file?
Yesterday my mother came to me and asked: "What is the difference between a JPEG and a MS Word file?". At first, I thought this is going to be easy. The difference is quite obvious, isn't it? A JPEG is a picture, while the MS Word file is a text document. So I told her exactly that. What followed next left me speechless.
She asked me how she can convert a JPEG into a MS Word file (the picture she wanted to convert had text in it). In her mind, this file has text in it, so it must be possible to convert it into a text document. Furthermore, you can insert the picture in the MS Word file, so clearly this must be possible. I didn't know what to say. I grew up with computers, so this concept of different file types and in what ways they are interchangeable is normal for me, but how do you explain that to someone who didn't have this luxury?
I have no idea. Have you?

I just got thrown out.
I have a two hour break between my math and my controlling lecture. After I went to the cafeteria to eat lunch, I wanted to spend my time being productive. I walked to the business administration department so that I could work for as long as possible (due to the shorter way to the lecture room) before going to the lecture. Upon my arrival I realized that no lecture takes places in this particular room in the timeslot before my lecture. I figured that I just take my usual seat and work in there, effectively maximizing my working time.
A few minutes later, a woman came into the room and asked me what I was doing in here. I told her that I was doing work while waiting for my lecture that will be in about one hour in this room. She got really mad, almost shouting at me that this is no place to work or spend your free time. After that, she asked me to leave until my lecture begins.
Have you experienced similar things in your university? I have never experienced something like it at the computer science department, where no one cares where you work as long as you do not disturb anyone.
