It all depends. If they were asking you to explain what a computer is in 1900 it is not possible since I don;t think computers were available back then. If they are asking to explain present technology to someone from the 1900, I would start out with te basics of the different componets of a computer, eg. hard drive, mother board, power supply, RAM, disk drives, and etc. The reson for this is that you need to understand how a computer works before you can even get to software.

I had an interview, and the interviewer did not show up. I waited for 20 minutes, outside, noone was in the office. So I saw this as a sign that this was not a good company to work for.

Yes, you ask them during the negotiations, or even right up front in the interview.  Work to live, don't live to work: (potential) employers aren't superior, it's ok to ask questions about things that will affect your life in a very big way.

This situation can be from a previous job, from a volunteer experience, or any relevant event. \nAction \nyou took Describe the action you took and be sure to keep the focus on you. Even if you are discussing a group project or effort, describe what you did -- not the efforts of the team. Don't tell what you might do, tell what you did. \nResults \nyou achieved What happened? How did the event end? What did you accomplish? What did you learn?

What kind of a question is this? You can't put the answer in the question. That's not fair.\n\nI would have said no.

I think as the question was asked in a country I would have answered as you did.  Perhaps the asker of this question meant something different from the way the question reads.  Perhaps the askers does not have a firm grasp of the English language.

Good luck to you.  Regardless of the outcome of this interview, keep in mind that there was something that pulled you in for a second interview, keep trying and you will get the job you want.

Sorry, but yes, I think you messed it.... don't tell your plans to any interviewer if they don't benefit the company, it's like showing your cards in a poker game.\n\nGood luck for the next time.

Funny!\nThe interviewer was probably from a minority group and the company that hired him needed to make quota.

On the tip of my tongue........... Damn, I hate when I know the answer but can't get it out. :(

I pick "1". hey, that's what you said! It's not a choice though.\n\nDo you not have a book? Or some type of reference from the class? These kinds of questions can only be answered by the author of the question, meaning USE YOUR BOOK.
