I like my computer. But I don't know how to use it as well as the 10-year-old daughter.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'm a '70s mom, and my daughter is a '90s mom. I know a lot of women my age who are real computer freaks.
I got my first computer at, I don't know, when I was 11 years old? 10?
I'm encouraging kids to use computers at their own pace to build aspirations.
Honestly, I still don't use my computer. My kids use the computer more than I do! I understand that a lot of people are into it, and I have days where I write and stuff, but it's really not for me. It's not my thing.
I was the first to advocate the Web. But I am very troubled by this thing that every kid must have a laptop computer. The kids are totally in the computer age. There's a whole new brain operation that's being moulded by the computer.
I just want to keep creating stuff, work regularly and learn how to use a computer properly.
I have a sister who is technophobic; she doesn't even use a computer.
While I have never learned to use a computer, I am surrounded by family and friends who carry information to me from blogs, Facebook, Twitter, and various websites.
Computers tend to separate us from each other - Mum's on the laptop, Dad's on the iPad, teenagers are on Facebook, toddlers are on the DS, and so on.
I have one computer that my wife gave me. All I know how to do, and I do it every day, is play Spider Solitaire. And I don't have a cell phone.
