Is your mom "anti_Computer" ?

I think when they start implanting shit into people, that's the tech train that I'm not going to get on.

you've got that right, i dont want to shit implanted in my brain, unless it is like a
super duper thing to play subspace anywhere!

My mom has always been very fast learning. I can't remember the last time she has needed help with her laptop. She even took come classes so she know some things better than the men in the family.

My father used to disconnect my network wire from the router if I was playing or chatting too much. He needed me to cut the grass or something. I moved out as soon as I could though.

pfft my mom barely knows how to work a tv

haha yeah, a while back i was visiting my mom and she ad trouble changing the channel

Yeah, we are pretty much the first generation that has grown up with electronic devices. I doubt that another revolution like it will come up for another 100 years or so.

Ok so our kids will probably laugh at us too when we are older, but I think most of us (at least the people geek enough to play subspace) will be able to use the technology we'll live to see.

I don't agree with that. Most people that play this game were probably born with videogames/computers etc and will probably use them and keep up with them for the rest of their lives.

Sometimes when my dad comes into my room, sees me playing ss, he thinks for himself that he'll shut that computer down right now!" So he attacks my monitor, presses the monitor button (so it shuts down), then he leaves my room laughing and with a big meanie smile, cause he thinks he shut down my computer.

I've never told him that the monitor on/off button does not turn off the whole computer...I'll let him have his fun :P

ahahhahahahahah!

she installed the anti certain website thingy, and it took me like an hour to figure out her pw

also whoever said it above, rather than go into the URL box, my mom types hotmail.com into google, then clicks the link. Annoys the shit outta me.

Jesus, at least she knows how to use a search engine.

my mom thought she would stop my porn browsing by installing Norton anti virus. I give her credit though, it slowed me down for about an hour.

disagree, technology will leave *most* of us behind. not all ofcourse but a fair share. even if they do have a technological life style.

ive only ever played this game, and only coz by brother and boyfriend got me in to it, oh and zelda

I kind of agree with both Stab and Suz in the sense that technology will advance tremendously in our lifetime, but as long as we still retain our interest in technology when we get older, we won't turn into those tech-idiots that we're describing in this thread.

My pops is a total idiot when it comes to computers, but if he just set aside some time to learn about them, he would have no problem with it. His problem (and I'm guessing the problem with most people who are tech-idiots) is that in the 1980's and 1990's he only paid attention to stuff like his personal life and his career. He had no interest in keeping up with the advancement of technology. Now, he has to relearn every advancement in the last 20 years (which includes computer semantics) and I think he feels like he's learning to speak a foreign language and studying the history of an alien culture.

I think with most of us here in TW, we like computers and technology. It facinates many of us, so I have little doubt that with that kind of interest, we're going to be motivated to keep up with it over the next several decades.

Another thing, technology is a two-way street. It exists to make our lives easier, and as a capitalist vehicle. The designers want to create a product that is user friendly, because they stand to be more successful in selling more of them.

Basic technology will always have an interest in us, so as long as we maintain an interest in basic technology, I don't think it will pass us by.

grandma> sam, can you ring up the internet and tell them to order me a bread cutter

^ wtf?

[Edify]

yeah actually my mom doesnt like it when im on the computer and it's annoying.

my mom doesn't like the computer either.

sometimes i use it too long and she threatens to toss it out the window. i have my startbar on auto-hide. she doesn't know how to use the computer at all.
