My mom is a total ignorant when it comes to computers. More than once I’ve tried to teach her how to use it, you know, the basic stuff. She just won’t let me. I think I can count with one hand the times she has actually approached my PC (and not for cleaning it). It’s quite weird (is it?) since I’m such a techie.
It makes me feel bad, because I feel like everyone out there is at least able to turn his/her PC on, log in to their e-mail, and read the news. My mom doesn’t even know which one is the power button. I know, shame on me. On my defense, I once managed to teach her how to use the mouse and click on stuff. Sadly, I think such a skill has already vanished from her memory.
She tells me that she won’t have anyone making fun of her. I don’t know why she says that. I mean, if anything, it’s weird NOT know how to operate a computer. She’s proud, so maybe she thinks I’ll laugh at her.
If only she knew how powerful a computer can be. *sigh*
