  • The Rolling Stones' Paint it Black meets Pink Floyd's Another Brick in the Wall in this Parody song all about technology - and those who just don't like it. Know anyone like this?
    My dear mother, Carolyn, has a hate-hate relationship with technology. I'm a teacher by trade and can teach tough concepts to anyone, but trying to teach her how to save documents on a computer is a mountain too high for me. She 100% inspired this song and was such a good sport about it that she agreed with my request to film her trying to use her phone and a laptop. No acting here - just me capturing her trying to figure it all out. Good times!

      Shirley, your Mama is a jewel! I'm 76 years old and can relate to every word in the video. I was forced to buy a new cell phone a few years back because of the new 5G technology. The phone's okay, but I'm still trying to figure out how to use the camera 🤳! It has so many gosh darn "bells and whistles" that I don't want or need. 😋
      A great video, Shirley! Love to both you and your Mama! ♥️

As always, you've hit the nail on the head. A big hug from Susana-Barcelona

    This song describes me to a T. Still have and use my landline phone. Have a smart phone but can't even get it set up, so got a flip phone thinking it might be easier, but NO! Still haven't got either one up and going. Have no kids, so can't get youthful assistance. I don't know who to look to for help. I've watched a dozen or more TH-cam videos, but they still leave me confused. The little instruction book that came with each phone assumes I know more than I do. I need detailed, super simple step-by-step instructions! At this rate, I'll never have a useable smart phone! Aaaaugh!!!!!

    •  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I'm glad you're able to use landline still. They aren't maintaining the copper lines where I live, so once there's a fault, it's mobile or nothing for people impacted.

    If you ever need a stand in for ur mum I could fill her shoes no problemo. LOL Just this AM I spent at least 30 min. trying to take a pic with my cell and save it. Just wound up deliberately deleting all pics taken. I've had cell for more than a couple years. Bought a new good brand laptop, maybe it would be considered a tablet, about 14 months ago. After a couple months with it I was pretty close to turning it into a Frisbee. Am surprised it's still around. Kinda lost interest in the dang things when Win95 came around and DOS took a seat in the back somewhere. I'm rooting for ya mum. Another great video. Thanks.

    Lately it has become almost impossible to get through the day without a "smart" phone. Now you need to check in from your phone for a Dr. appointment or use the phone to scan the QR code to see the menu at a restaurant. Seriously? Can't you just print some up for us old farts?
    The other thing nobody mentions about older folks dealing with new tech is that less than perfect eyesight compounds all of the difficulties involved. Tiny little print and drop down menus from tiny little buttons you didn't even see at the edge of the screen. Things get lost in the bifocal line also. Hands that are less than perfectly steady with no arthritis are also less able to find all those tiny touchscreen buttons on the phone.
    I like my computer but I would happily go back to a world with no cell phones. There is nothing anyone has to say to me that is so all fired important that it can't wait until I get home.

    Shirley, you are telling the story of my life! I finally made the smartphone leap three years ago after 14 years with a flip phone (I like the iPhone better than the Android-I can’t figure those out to save my life), and I still have a landline for a variety of practical reasons. Social media? Just TH-cam and Snapchat (the latter of which I only post on a handful of times per year). And to think that growing up I used to be the only person in the house who could program the Betamax! Now I’m getting pwned by my stupid all-in-one printer being stuck in a malfunction loop that I can’t get unstuck and the online instructions from “tech support” only serve to give me a headache! I manage the tech at work and the firehouse all right, but I still feel like a trackside hitchhiker trying to hop a ride on a bullet train otherwise!
    Like I told some of the guys my age at the firehouse: Nothing like a smartphone to make you feel like a dumbass!

      …….from one dumbass to another.
      We’re getting there, because we have iPhones :)
      The last time I picked up my Very old simple Nokia not so smart phone, I had become so used to the advanced iPhone, that I couldn’t even work out how to make a phone call, or even get into it 🤔
      I can’t even go back to the simplicity of it all 🙄 😂😂😂

      Thanks so much. My mum used to have an old laptop of mine, and we realised a smartphone would be better for what she does. It was a hard transition but SO much better than battling a laptop!

      You’re so kind Terry! As there are so many of us who need someone with the patience to be able to teach those of us who are a bit slow and lacking in confidence with all of this technology.
