Technologically stupid people

I always have to face palm when I hear about an older person being afraid of the Internet. Especially social media websites. I couldn't imagine not having the Internet, there's just so much information you can access within seconds.

I think my mother still has panic attacks when she sees EoFFers comment on my facebook posts. She has to know who they are and where they are from and oh my god I'm not 12 any more I know how to internet safely. I know which EoFFers and pedos mum it's okay.

Don't. Get. Me. Started.

Ahahaha, I am totally going to post creepy comments onto your wall.

My aunt is so technologically stupid that she used a digital camera backwards. We could see her eye on the screen (hilarious). Then she was blinded by the flash.

My Dad is rather good with computers, often better than me in a few areas. Mum wasn't great until recently, but she's gotten a whole lot better, and now she's on Twitter and is probably on Facebook more than I am!

Oddly enough I needed my younger brother to scan some things for me the other day, but he had no idea what to do, so he asked my less technically savvy mum how to do it...

But sometimes we encounter people who are useless at it. I mean really damn useless. And it's not always just limited to that.

I keep mentioning commonly known shortcuts (copy, paste, save, that sort of thing) and mum has no smurfing idea what I'm talking about. She works on computers every day, all day, so I have no idea how she is this bad. And half the stuff I teach her, I swear to god she taught me. Mayb early onset Alzheimers?

Dad is worse. He has no idea how to use computers at all. They scare him. He gets us to do his online banking. He also held up my portable harddrive and had no smurfing idea what it was. And then of course there's his assumption that I always have to be talking to someone if I'm on the computer. "Who are you talking to?" argh :argh:

Anybody you know who really doesn't know what they're doing? Not just with computers, but other stuff too!

All we have to do is self inflict the genophage and then slowly become the robots we fear.

>>> The giant robots will be more complex than computers, you wont be able to handle one..:luca:

As long as I don't have to program the smurfer, I will learn just to ride around in my robot of mass destruction.

Confronted with a super badass robot that you don't know how to control?
