#old people using computers

my boss just clicked a bookmark that took him to a google search for “google”, clicked the first result (google.com), and then did his google search

Mom: How can I copy an image and save it to my computer? I am trying to copy this picture but it won't let me put it in My Pictures.

Me: Did you know that copy and save are two different things?

Mom: You mean I SAVE the picture instead of COPY it?

(At least she no longer pastes them in a word file and saves that to her pictures folder. That was a special time.)

Meet single women? What? I'm just typing on here and suddenly it pops up with "meet single women." What is this? Why is it doing this?

Know Thy Customer

I'm sitting at Panera Bread eating a salad by myself - because that's what winners do - listening to this old dude behind me walk his mom (who I assume is older than him and thus older than me by a multiple of 100) through setting up Time Machine on a Mac.

He's getting pissed.  Too bad that's his own fucking fault.

I overheard that he gave her an external harddrive.  Why the fuck would you do that?  Half of the population probably don't even know how to remove a USB correctly; 90% of my classmates probably don't even know how to pull their songs off their iPod w/out using iTunes.  So why would you get someone that elderly a fucking computer to begin with?  Ever here of the iPad?  Way more suited for someone from that non-tech savy generation.  

Additionally, why does a person that old need to have Time Machine running on their Mac?  What the fuck are they going to back up?  Their elderly porn collection?  That's ridiculous.  'The Golden Girls Golden Shower' is easily accessible on line.  Jeebus.  Fucking n00bs.

Now he's trying to teach her how to use Skype.  Instead of doing that, why doesn't he teach her how to use the zoom function so the gotdamn font is bigger.  It will make his life easier.

Honestly, more power to the old lady for wanting to learn how to use technology.  No power, and minus points for her retard son not giving her something that she can use easily.  

Fucking idiot.
