Grandma's on a Computer!!!

April 26, 2002 - 4:04am

Tonight we had Karen's birthday party. Naturally I was taking pictures with my digital camera. Grandma started asking about it. She was surprised it didn't have to wind itself between pictures. So we started talking about digital images and computers and the internet. She hasn't ever seen any of my web stuff so I showed her my photo albums. It was the cutest thing I've seen in a long time. She was so amazed by it all. I even had her clicking through them! It's amazing how different it all must be to her. Afterall, she's 90 years old. Wow.

I had a similar experience when I was teaching my mom how to use a computer some years ago. It was so strange seeing her struggle with getting the mouse to go where she wanted it to. "Hit the X to close the window, Mom. No the X! The X! To the right! No RIGHT!" Good times, good times.

I'll always remember when my mom first learned to use Windows. "This is so cool! I can keep all these programs running along the bottom of the screen."
