Parents Just Don't Understand

I was on collegehumour.com today, found this article, and thought it was hilarious:


...
Do your parents not understand technology? Do they ask you stupid questions? Do they send you absurd text messages? Do they use words like "MyFace,""SpaceBook,"or "The World Wide Web?"
If you've got an example of your Parents Just Don't Understanding, submit it here!
And thank God we'll never be as dumb as they are!

My dad will put together photo albums of me on his Facebook by taking all the Photos of me from my profile, saving them to his computer, reposting them into a new album, then retagging me in each of them. He has done this with about two hundred pictures. I've had to untag myself in each one.

As a joke I changed the language on my dad's cell phone to Spanish. Later that day I heard him yelling over our home phone at Verizon customer support saying their security was terrible and that Mexicans had hacked into his phone.

My dad thinks that he can only check an e-mail account on the computer he made it on. Therefore, he checks his work e-mail in his office and his personal e-mail on our house computer. It wouldn't be that bad, but he works at home and those two computers are about 20 feet apart....

Whenever my mom sees something online that she thinks is cool, she wants to share it on Facebook using the "share on Facebook" link most sites have now. She doesn't have Facebook, so every time she does this and can't sign into Facebook she thinks there's something wrong with her internet and calls her internet provider to come "fix the wiring."

Every single time i call my mom's cell phone, she doesn't answer. But 1-3 minutes later I get a call back that always starts with, "Hey did you just call?" She has caller ID.

Every time my mother sends me an email, she types the email in Word and then attaches the document to a blank email.

I showed my grandma how to use her DVR so she could record her favoriteshows. I came back a few days later and I said, "Hey grandma, hows theDVR working?" She told me to be quiet because the DVR was recording Grey's Anatomy. And that if I kept talking, she wouldn't be able to hear it later during playback.
