Parents and Technology

[Doomonkey]

My mom actually has great troubleshooting skills, she can un-plug and re-plug things in and all sorts of magical stuff.

And thank goodness for it. Can you imagine if parents knew how to use computers? Say goodbye to your lives!

affair?

Yes, actually.
She seems to be too invested in herself to care about us or her husband too much.
She thinks we don't know or something.

My mom uses a 512 MB Dell inspiron 2000 series, and she is decent on computers. My dad is alright, but not great.

When your parents grew up with computers like this:

You can't expect them to be good with them.

My dad is pretty good with computers and technology, my mom still thinks computers can "brainwash" you into being a terrorist.

So, we had some networking issues when the power went out.  My dad decided to try and take things into his own hand by calling the ISP.  They asked him what router he had, he said NetZero.  I'm sure most of you know what NetZero is.

Anyway, the ISP was taking him through all kinds of unnecessary steps.  So I decided to take over when I noticed what was going on.  I turned his 15-minute phone call into a fix in under 10 seconds.

Afterwards he pretended he lost connection to whoever he was talking to on the phone.


This is how a chat went down with my aunt before. Shes 80.

Her: Can I get on the WWW's?
Me: You mean the Internet?
Her: The WWW's.
Me: Yes, the Internet.
Her: Will me being on the Internet mess you up?
Me: No, anyone can connect.

Then she asked about email.

Her: Can you help me setup an email?
Me: Sure, how about hotmail?
Her: That sounds dirty, I don't like that.
Me: Yahoo?
Her: *She makes a random sound like she was getting something good.*
Me: Yahoo it is.

Edit: I also suggested Gmail, she didn't like that either because it sounded "Gangster".

I'm like the only one in the family that knows anything about computers.
