I totally agree with the younger vs older generation in coping up with computers...

In our home you can really see the difference of these two generations between me and my mom. My mom is not really that old though. I grew up being exposed to different gadgets/computers because of my uncle. He always has this new gadget that comes out or that becomes popular. That's why sometimes we get showered by these blessings as well. When we had our first iPad, we all got excited except for my mom. We tried teaching her how to use it but then she refuses to learn since she can't stand being in front of computer. Her eyes hurt and I don't know why :)) Then came the iPhone, I told my mom that the time will come that we would be migrating to US and that she has to learn how to use smartphones but then again she refuses because she doesn't get how to operate it no natter how many times we show her how.

I also agree that the older generation is harder to teach, I've experienced this when it comes to teaching my mom and my younger sister. My younger sister, easily understood what I tell her too. There are times that she comes to me thru Facebook for help then I just give her instructions and she gets it easily. Unlike when it comes to my mom, I had to demonstrate it for a couple of times for her to get what I was saying.

My mom was able to learn how to use Google and Facebook. Well, she actually needs to learn those two for her business. Like for recipes :)
