Google...

So my mother got a new laptop for a late christmas present of soemthing and im typing on it. I am the first of my brother and sister and I who actually got permission to use it. It is kind of weird to type since im a bad typerish and the keys press down really easily. Its frusterating having to backspace so much. I have only been using this for like two minutes and I have already taught her how to make the brightness more or less. It's not that old people don't know how to use new technology, but its that they dont know how to figure out how to use it.

My mother also recently got a facebook. Probally at least 35 times my mom has called me downstais and asked me a question on how to do something on facebook, that I learned how to do myself. Instead of trying and guessing, she will just simply ask me, the genius, how to do it. It isn't really annoing, except that my dad did it too when he got facebook, just not as much.

I tend to fix a lot of things that break. No i never know what I am doing, but my confidence makes people think that I do. Our "high tech" TV has turning on and off issues. there is two remotes that I have to work with. My mom is the only one besides me who can fix it. It took me a little wihle to learn, but I TRIED and figured it out insead of googled the answers or called someone.

I guess looking up what your doing is probally a good thing. I just have never done that. For my like 10th birthday or something my uncle gave me a discovery kid telescope. I thought it was really cool, but the directions were stupidly written. So i used my context clues and put it together myself, and I did it right! ahh i love it when I do things right by instinct insead of GOOGLE.

I think my brother abuses google for video games. Video games are made for strategy and logic. but thanks to google, my brother has given up thinking and just usues google and youtube to learn how to play. All he does is sit in the basement, eat and play video games. He doesn't even think when he plays them anymore.

Not saying good and youtube dont help me. I use google about every time I get on the computer. I use google images and youtube for 99% of my pictures and videos. They are convinent, but I think they can be abused. Noone thinks for themselves anymoer. They just google or youtube it.
