[rockenjayz247]

my dad is 46 and knows how to pay bills online and pretty good at installing our new TVs and dvd players with surround sound

my mom 45 on the other hand barely knows how to call someone on the cell phone

...never use the computer except solitare every once in awhile..getting there but still learning to text

\

how about your parents?

 

[mc otaku]

still need to teach my dad how to use the pc...ughh

 

[mister916]

My Mom uses one of the lap tops to watch her Chinese shows online. Shes got a cell but doesn't text just call. Same with my dad.

 

[elocin023]

Dad is pretty knowledgeable. Mom on the other hand.

She can't text. Uses the computer for email/solitaire/online banking. Anything else and she needshelp.

 

[ekinsearcher]

Im pretty sure my parents have never used a computer before or turned one on.

 

[rockenjayz247]

also w/out Qwerty board i dont think my parents would ever text like they do now...it used to take like like 5 mins just for like a few word text lol

mom is almost up on the texting game. I get the occasional "Luv U 2"

 

[soltheman]

My mom is pretty computer literate. She can text and things like that. But she still infects any computer she owns with several viruses before trying to makeme fix it.

My dad is a private contractor for multiple firms; his biggest was ACDelco before the company overturned. He's more up to par with any person I know.

mom n dad goin hard with technology lol

 

[daytona 5000]

Thankfully no

 

[tkthegirl]

Mom can take a computer apart and put it back together but can't use T9 for nothing. She's backwards, but pretty mechanically inclined.
Dad not so much he's too busy with car mechanics.
"Pops" is pretty tech savvy on everything but not as much as my mom.

 

[doosta45]

my parents text, use the computer, and have an ipod

moms be downloading songs on limewire than putting them on her ipod. then burning herself a cd. then uses t9 on her razor to text my sister to get her a candybar from the liqour store

 

[18key]

My mom thinks that email is a computer program...

 

[shortydoowopp]

my dad builds PCs for fun and he runs blackberry servers for Border Patrol or something...

my mom can use a computer and text...dad is who i go to though for problems...

 

[njcollector]

mom is quick with technology she learned to text in like a week,my step dad he is slow can't teach him nothing new,it just gathers dust.

 

[916kings]

[hellaones]
