So frustrating to try to handle technology I myself didn't buy, my parents have some sort of Internet/ channel / streaming package which I have no idea yo fix cause ofc they don't know any info or where they put them. This is why I'm gonna get them a binder and then cross my fingers they use them . Love my parents, but I can't use magic - especially without a user manual lol

@Zolah Oh yes. The wonderful cross-country technical support requests. My mother-in-law will call with questions like:

"Why is this thing on my screen?"
"Mom, I can't see your screen."
"It's an Ipad."
"Still can't see it."

Follow

@Myana My parents are like...
" I'm ready now I think..."
-" ok, I want you to go to sett.."
" NO I CANT DO THIS, LET YOUR NEPHEW DO IT OR DO IT WHEN YOU VISIT!"

Same every time lol

@Zolah One day my Mom somehow backed herself out of Netflix's webpage. She called me in a panic, positive that she'd somehow 'deleted' Netflix.

From the internet. Not her computer. 😜

@Myana aww oh nooo xD cute but I can understand her scare if she doesn't know to much about new tech.

@Zolah I calmed her down by pointing out that the internet (and companies on it) were not easy to destroy. If they were, they wouldn't exist... because teenagers would be continually destroying them, just for the laughs. 😀

@Myana true xD well, teens even succeed to do so now. There was a huge breach made by a 17 year old over at.... cia? ( can't remember xP )
