Introducing the book (repost)

A.k.a. Medieval Helpdesk. This video makes fun of moderns newbie computer users by illustrating - in a way fully understandable to them - how silly some of their questions are by creating a similar problem in the Middle Ages.

It's from a show called Øystein & Meg (Øystein & I) produced by the Norwegian Broadcasting television channel (NRK) in 2001. The spoken language is Norwegian. It's written by Knut Nærum and performed by Øystein Bache and Rune Gokstad.

NEWS: NRK have uploaded an official version of this video themselves - with more accurate Eng subtitles. It is located at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQHX-SjgQvQ

This isn't 14th century Norway. This is the state of information technology in Norway today.

This makes me think of people becoming so used to technology that we may actually need tutorials like this at some point.. :(

@Mauromoustakos No in fact there isn't, we call it helpdesk in Norwegian as well. You could possibly get away with IT kundetjeneste, but who cares, it's one of the great comedy sketches so enjoy.
