Is that ok? After posting about my problems with word verification, I found this post, "Senior Citizens and Technology", on another blog. The reason it's so funny to me is because, although I'm not quite as bad as this particular blogger's parents, I could be. If I didn't have computer, digital, video, cable and text-savvy kids, I would be completely lost.
Don't tell my aunt I told you this. But when she heard her daughter tell her other daughter that she would fax a recipe* to her, she said, "Oh, could you fax that to me, too?" She had no fax machine or even a computer. And she had no idea that you NEEDED an actual fax machine to send or receive faxes.
Thanks, Cuz, for ratting out your poor mother.
*See, I got food in here, after all.

Hey! that's not right! :)
Stop laughing at your aunt!
Hi Cynthia,
Yeah, I'm bad. I haven't heard from her yet, but I'm not too worried. She does have a computer now, but it takes her awhile to get on the "intercom".
Disclaimer:
Yes, my aunt did make that fax remark for real, BUT she actually is online all the time and she's quite good on the computer. I think a lot of older people realize that it's a wonderful way to keep in touch. Of course, she's probably not speaking to me now...
