My brother works at the Apple store called Computer Dimensions. We got into a deep conversation the other day while talking about the new Imacs that are about to come out. I was thinking about buying one of the latest models but he told me to wait. Steve Jobs was trying to keep it a secret but our friend recently went to mac world and heard about them. He had to sign a release about keeping his mouth closed but he shared it with his boys. Now I cant say what is going to be put into the computers but I was amazed. I will just never understand how technology moves so fast. I have had computer since I was 12, and every 6 months something new comes out and I can just never keep up. I bought my first Mac last year it was top of the line. Now it's 1,000 dollars cheaper and slower than the rest. To me its just exhausting trying to keep up, things change to fast. Which then brings me to my point. He then tells me about this one old couple that came into the store a few days ago. They knew what they wanted and got to the point. They walked up to him and said "I need a computer with a webcam and lots of gigabytes for my photos and music". He was pretty shocked that they new what they were talking about. My brother asked them how they new so much about computer technology. They told him that their grandchildren showed them. That the computer was the way to stay close to them, cause that's what was important to them. The older man said "he might me old but he can still learn a thing or two". They then told him that this was their 3rd computer to buy in 2 years. I was like wow! I've only had 3 in the last 10 years. It made me feel like I was behind them. But then I got to thinking about my grandma and how she would ask me about coming over and helping her learn some stuff about their computer but I really just never took the time. I never really had the patients for her. However it wasn't long before she was sending me E Greetings through my email. Then she would pop up and IM me on AOL. Despite what some may think about old people trying to keep up with technology as being difficult. I assure that if they want to they will find a way.
