Mom's Challenge

Guest post written by Kevin Beach

My mom is about as into technology as a caveman and I was determined to try and up her tech quota. She didn’t even have a cell phone when I got started with her! I took her to the Verizon store and got her a nice flip phone (start her off easy, that’s what the clerk told me) and she’s finally gotten used to that. I got her a plasma TV for the house and she likes that a lot too but she doesn’t really understand the concept of Direct TV which I got her to go along with it. The next step I think is taking her to an Apple store and getting her a Mac but for the time being I guess I’m going to have to be okay with her not able to email. I have a feeling teaching her how to use a laptop is going to be a really, really uphill battle that will spawn not just a few fights so I’m saving that one until I’m ready.
