My Mother is Easily Confused by Technology
Today marks a big day in our house. We switched cable companies, and my mother finally let go of her infernal VCR. And by let go, I mean we ripped it from her cold, dead hands.
Okay, not quite, but she only let it go due to not having any other choices. Though can I point out that it’s still sitting under our television, not hooked up to a damn thing? Change can be oh-so-hard in this house. She’s still skeptical of the DVR that arrived, even after I on-the-fly recorded a rerun of Law & Order for her.
I, however, am one happy camper. We finally have The National Geographic Channel! Oh how I have missed it’s educational and somewhat silly programming since I left New York City. Bonus: our internet seems to (finally!) work properly, too.
