There’s a generation gap as wide as the grand canyon between me and my parents, as far as technology goes. To say they aren’t familiar with the internet is an understatement. They don’t own a computer, and my mom still thinks that faxing is a thing.

So when I went to visit them last week, and I decided I would try to teach them. I got them a tablet a few months ago, and it’s just been collecting dust. Part of the problem is they don’t have internet. We remedied that, and I sat down to teach them about the basics, email, facebook, googling, etc.
