    Technology and online is great if you understand what you are doing but for some people it is just to **** confussing, so they refuse to learn and keep up with the times of technology and online usage.

    jen says: Yes you are right it can be confusing. I have taught myself for the last 2 years and I am still learning, but it is definitely the way to go. I wish I could explain that to my hubby as he loves using the net, but he is a stubborn .......If only he would listen to to me occassionally he would be far more advanced than he is now. But I guess it is a lot harder for the oldies out there as they get stuck in their ways and modern technology frightens them. Not me though, I'm all for it.

    karts52 says: Ditto jen, sounds like me and my hubby. My biggest problem is asking a question in a forum when looking for the answer to a problem and the terminology leaves me with more questions. Getting the simpler version of the answer is my biggest hurdle but I plod on and don't let it beat me.
    I pick my moments when to teach hubby a new or better way to do something as retraining is a battle once they pass 40. LOL

    the Computer Magazines in the newsagents and shudder , they are all written in a foreign language called Compuspik ! , But the one technology I have total hatred for and raises my blood pressure is the obscene development called VOICE RECOGNITION particularly the one used by Telstra .
