I had lunch with my mom and one of her friends today. Her friend is thinking of getting an iPad and asked me what apps I put on my mom's iPad. I said I put her bank, credit card, Netflix, and solitaire, and I don't remember the rest. She said "so you bookmarked the bank and credit card company as favorites"...I was like, wow, I don't even know where to begin explaining apps to you... I said, no I downloaded the app. Then she asked me why did I download those apps since you can just go online and access your accounts, I told it's just faster and easier that way. She said, "so it's like a favorites in your bookmarks"...again, I didn't know how to begin explaining it to her. I just told her, "no, it's an app, it's an icon on the screen". What I wanted to say was, look lady, I already have parents I need to explain this shit to, get one of your children to explain it to you, I can only deal with one set of parents being technologically handicapped.
