Thanks for sharing it made me laugh so hard, because you nailed it right on the head. My parents are pretty Computer-Savy, but my Nana can barely work an ATM by herself and yet, she lives on the computer even though she can't figure out the darn thing and calls both my Mom and I to walk her through things STEP-BY-STEP! lol She thinks I'm SOO clever because I helped her change her font style!! hehehe...oh, bless her heart! Great story, Heather! This was just too funny! Thanks for sharing it made me laugh so hard, because you nailed it right on the head.

I wonder what technology my kids will have when I am in my sixties. I just hope my sons won't blog about it. :-) It is funny to hear all the stories of other people’s parents and technology too.

I'm absolutely positive the first day would end with him taking apart the computer, trying to figure out why it won't do what EXACTLY what he wants it to do. Or perhaps more likely, he'd just throw it at a wall and be done with the whole thing (seriously). My mom on the other hand was in software development and is on the computer all the time. They're a match made in technology heaven... or maybe south of there. I don’t push the technology with my dad.

My mom is really good about asking questions and writing down the answers on how to do things in her little spiral notebook that she keeps by the computer. My hubby's parents, on the other hand, are exasperating. They ask the same questions, over and over, because they don't remember and they don't write down the answers. If I had a dollar for every time I've heard a question start out with, "You know the TV part of the computer? [the monitor?] Well, that little picture of the square thing in the corner of that? [a file icon?] It's gone... [awesome]", I'd be rich. He won't answer their tech support calls. He's more than qualified, but he doesn't have the patience. I spend my days with a preschooler, so I'm a little better equipped to handle their questions. Don't get me wrong...I love them dearly! :) This post is hilarious!!
