Is it just me or do you realise that lately the gadgets are becoming more and more difficult/complex to use? I used to be able to figure out things without reading the manuals.. We know that manual is meant to be read, but where’s the fun of discovering new things by yourself?
Anyway I just taught my mom how to call and send SMS using her new 7650 Nokia mobile, it didn’t take me long to figure it out without reading the manual. It does seem a little bit complex to me let alone to my mom. And I still struggling to understand my new NEC808 mobile phone myself, I am supposedly able to send emaisl using that, but never get around it.. And I still don’t know how to set the radio stations on my discman..
Geez.. am I turning to… my mom???
It took me ages and a lot of patience to teach my mum on how to email. We’re used to username, password, logging in, dial-up, etc. but to them those things are irrelevant. Once the PC complained about invalid username and she was terribly annoyed.
She can SMS though 🙂 Not sure what phone she has.
I’m chatting with my mum on msn now…
use internet for video and audio transfer last time…
*that’s because my dad’s interest in computer/electronic stuff*… <:
I wonder in 10-15 yrs time, would our children be teaching us in using the latest gadgets..
I was trying to teach my mum abt ICQ, but after awhile she decided that phoning me and sis is so much simpler than ICQ 😛
Uhm just realised, in 10 or 15 yrs time, our children will be at most 15 yrs old (if you are get married soon)..
Let’s just say in 25-30 yrs time, would we still be able to catch up with the technologies…
haha~~ that is funny comment that make me laugh when I open this comment :)…need it for my refreshing time…….yeah, same with you felix, my sister taught my mom how to use ICQ. But it seemed my mom prefer to call me. Really funny, cannot stop laugh!!!!….will it true our children will teach us the newest tech 🙂 :)???
