Christina Warren @film_girl:
Seriously trying to explain an iPod nano to my 67 year old father is an exercise in patience. Not to mention showing my mother iTunes. Again

Glenn Fleishman @GlennF:
@film_girl I love my mother in law, but she appears to know less about computers each time she’s used one _over 20 years_.

Christina Warren @film_girl:
@GlennF Haha. This is the third or fourth iPod I’ve bought my parents since 2005. Mom at least loves her iPad (second since 2010)

Glenn Fleishman @GlennF:
@film_girl My mother in law says, “I put the thing on the thing and then that didn’t make it happen.” What THING? WHAT? WHAT?

@GlennF @film_girl In 1948, my father was building radios out of scrap wire. I’ve been a trainer for 20 yrs, could never teach him a thing.

@GlennF @film_girl I genuinely wonder if there’s going to be a tech that *I’m* useless with in 40 years.

Christina Warren @film_girl:
@jeffporten @GlennF yeah me too. Given my interests I just doubt it. Bt who knows. Maybe I’ll become a Luddite. Nah.

@film_girl @glennf The question is whether we adapt to *any* pace of change, or only *this* one.

@film_girl @glennf I think I’d be okay with nanotech or biotech body mods, but I think I’m edge case for my generation.

Glenn Fleishman @GlennF:
@film_girl @jeffporten I expect to always be tech support for my children.
