My Mother is on Facebook

It's amazing to see older generations catching on to new technology. Not because they're stupid, but because it isn't (or wasn't) common. Just a few years ago I had to remind my mom every day how to copy and paste as she was going through her online schooling. Not only has she figured out the World Wide Web, but she has also figured it out on her new Smart Phone! My generation tends to forget that we grew up with computers so it comes naturally. Instead of attributing the lack of computer literacy to that, they just make fun of them as if they're less intelligent. Well, most teenagers could use a smack across the face. Maybe they'll come to the realization that they aren't intelligent, nor invincible. The only thing seperating a person from a computer nerd is time. It took us all time to learn the ropes, and now the oldies are doing it too!

So congrats to all of you who began writing on cave walls who are now learning your way around a computer. Aren't they neat!?
