I volunteered some time yesterday to talk with folks about Twitter, mostly. What else would I talk about?
One woman did have some questions about the MacBook she and her husband bought in January. They had not used it because she said they did not know how. She said her husband did not want to use it until he read all the manuals. But just a few days ago they had finally connected the computer to the Internet and thought now miht be a good time to figure out how to use the machine. I showed her iTunes. I thought it would give them some enjoyment and perhaps spur them on to explore some more. We walked through how to load their music and setting the laptop up with their speakers. We walked through how to load applications. Very basic.
It was a great reminder for me how little people really know about tech and even though I am not a technical guy, people perceive me as so because relatively I know so much more than them.
