   Originally posted by Narc you know what, about the time turing was developing the first processor switches that would become the modern computers, my mom was just being born. she turns 80 this year and a few years back she joined her local WI women's institute thing for something to keep her busy in her retirement. they made her their treasurer and my mom got a laptop and asked me to show her how to use it, which i wasn't looking forward to the idea tbh.
   
   but i got her into how to start it up and open firefox and load web pages and some other basic stuff like using files and folders and shit. then i taught her how to youtube, then told her how anything she could possibly want to do on a computer she can just look up on youtube and there will be video tutorials on it. now she does their accounts on spreadsheets, prints stuff off, sends emails around the group, and she even prints or emails maps off google for their days out.
   
   i'm pretty surprised how well she's picked it up really. i was expecting she'd be constantly on the phone to me every 5 minutes and i'd have nightmares trying to explain shit to her over the phone, which it was at first, but she wasn't too bad. so yeah she's picked up the basics that she needs pretty well to be fair, considering she lived over 75 years having never even pressed a power button to any computers before now.

   That's actually a fantastic way to approach it. Just teach then how to access YouTube and the basics and they can go learn everything else from there. Good one m8.

   That's because ur an ignorant bastard who has no desire to empathize. As a spic faggot who Is afraid to come out of the closet publicly, because his family will ostracize him, this fact is extra disappointing, but not surprising. Most people suck, OP, and you're certainly no exception.
