as for the thread topic... watch any instructional video on youtube made by an american - I'm in no way saying all americans are stupid or any of that shit, but fuck, talk about dumbing it down.

e.g. youtube video: how do I take a screenshot on my phone?

ok pick up your phone - you'll find it maybe in your pocket, if not it could be on your desk, in a drawer, maybe on the kitchen table - one of the normal places you might put your mobile phone down at night, before you go to sleep. or when you go to take a shower.

right, when you have your phone, make sure it is switched on. you can do this by pressing the power button - on some phones it is on the side of the phone, on others like say an iphone, you will be able to locate the power button on the top of the phone - the top edge, not the top of the face of the phone.

if the screen comes on this means your phone is on, if it doesn't, you need to switch it on (I have made another youtube video on my youtube channel for this - check it out). you may have a password protecting your phone in case you lose it, or it gets stolen - you need to put the password in to unlock the phone so you can get to the menu and functions. If you don't enter the password if your phone is password protected, you won't be able to get to the menus, and of course you won't be able to dial anyone or send them a text so lets hope you remember your password hahaha!

ok, now what you need to do - by the way, stuff on phones is pretty small due to the screen on a phone being smaller than say your TV set - so if you need to, make sure you wear eyeglasses if prescribed by your opthalmist, because if you don't, and you should, you may get a headache, or cause further damage to your optic system.

[3 more minutes of mind numbing drivel.....]

press the power button and the home key simultaneously

and that's how you take a screenshot.
