Memory was something you lost with age
An application was for employment A program was a TV show A cursor used profanity A keyboard was a piano A web was a spider's
home A virus was the flu A hard drive was a long trip on the road
A mouse pad was where a mouse lived
My grandfather has recently started a course called '
Computers for the Terrified.'
He's
nearly eighty and, although used to be an engineer within the British Royal
Airforce,
he is completely stuck when it comes
to computers.
He came back from his first evening at this course. When asked how it had gone, he replied, 'Yes, it was really good. I really enjoyed it, but I really couldn't
get to grips with my mole.'
I
stopped for a second, completely puzzled, until I realised he was talking about the mouse.
Office Manager: "My mouse has suddenly stopped working." Tech
Support: "Is it an optical mouse?"
Office Manager: "I don't know?" Tech Support: "Does it have a ball or
light?"
Office Manager: "Oh, it's got a light on top." Tech Support: "On top?
Are you sure?"
Office Manager: "Yes. It was underneath before, but it looks better when
it's on top." Tech Support: "Ok, try turning it around so the light
points down on the desk."
Office Manager: "Blimey! It's working now I can can scroll again!"
