My parents don't have a clue about technology

[VietCowboy]

I taught my parents how to use basic computer and cell phone skills. they can make calls and take a picture on the cell, but not texting or know how to access their voicemail (somehow can't understand that pressing 1 will let them access it). On the computer, I taught them how to turn it on and click on certain shortcuts that I've programmed for them to access their news. They don't know how to use email. I'm trying to teach them how to use skype so that when I'm abroad, i can talk to them, but that's been hard and they still can't figure it out.

I bought my parents a new pc a few years back. My Mom uses it to play solitaire and my uses it to play online poker. It took a while but we finally got them to use email and facebook so things are looking up.

sounds like you pulled that one out of Ol' Bobby's Handy Dandy 101 Jokes

Everything that comes from me is original. My inspiration comes from what people say. I dated a girl back in high school who told me during a passionate moment in the back seat of my dads Buick that premarital sex was a sin. I told her as long as we never get married it's okay.

No worries. Voice recognition texting is just around the corner.

I can't wait for voice recognition technology to arrive because I can do impressions of my friends. I'll be able to gain access to their voice mail and security codes. I'll even be able to start their cars and activate their alrams from my computer. c:

Wrong numbers are alot more interesting with cell phones. Some gal sent me a naked picture the other day with a dirty message. Turned out to be a wrong number.

I read somewhere that a woman was trying to send naked pictures of herself to her husband and accidentally sent it to her Father-In-Law because they had the same name in her contact list. Awkward.

How did you get out of that mess?

My wife is just as bad. She has a cell phone but refuses to learn she can program contacts and pull them up more quickly. My 8 yr old grandson taught her how to text a couple of weeks ago. At least she listend to him but again refuses to even try to grasp it. She still will not use a calculator when she has to do any math. She says she can do it quicker by hand. Grrrr!!!

She can log on my computer and google something she wants to view but that is the extent of her web surfing. One day she was on the computer and a dating website pop-up happened and she swore I was trying to hook up with somebody. her daughter just happened to be there and saw and explained I had nothing to do with it that it was just something that happens on occasion. Of course she wanted me to have the computer taken out of the house immediately. I escaped that meltdown.

I could go on and on. She was the very last person in the world to get a cell phone. I was the 2nd to last. They cause cancer you know.
