Not As Easy As It Sounds

I have a phone, that has a camera, so I have a camera phone right? Wrong. It’s a little more complicated than that. Or is it?

So my dad just this past weekend found out that his camera has video. “Hey guess what! Did you know my camera has video? I can take a video – with sound!” No way Dad…you’re kidding! He only has the exact same model as mine but the upgraded version! He has had it for almost four years! How is that possible. I know we are a new generation, but I just don’t understand how hard it is for parents these days to understand the simplest of things!

I know no one really ever reads the manuals but there is a little big of logic involved. You see the picture of a video camera? Well that normally means that if you switch to that mode, you can take video! Easy right? So he finally got the video down pat, but can’t for the life of him work out how to play it back to him. So who shows him? I do. And now he thinks I am genius. He thinks I am Ms. Technology girl.

Want to feel smart and important? Go show your parents how to turn on a computer or if they already know how to do that, show them how to copy and paste. They will be amazed and think you are brilliant.
