Day 2
Today I had the challenge of teaching my grandmother how to use her computer and the internet. I always assumed teaching an elderly person how to use the internet would be hard. I just never knew how hard it actually would be. A computer, let alone the internet, is a whole new world to an elderly person. My grandmother was amazed and absolutely confused. It took me a half an hour just to teach her how to plug it in and turn it on. After three hours and a lot of patience, she finally knew how to get on Google and search for information. I was relieved and happy with what we had accomplished in those hours. Still, we were both tired from the lesson and agreed to continue tomorrow.

  1. Have fun telling her to go to the start menu when you want to 'stop' your computer?

    ;)

    Or that there are multiple ways of doing everything on the computer and no "right way"? That drives oldschool people crazy!
