memes

Anytime family asks for computer help I tell them I haven't used windows in years so I'll have no idea what to do either.

My friend, who is a windows and android guy, encourage his family to buy Macs and iPhones. That way when they have problems, he sends them to the Apple Store.

I've stopped answering my dad's phone calls since he only calls for computer help.

My mom still gets help because she at least tries to figure it out before calling me.

Yeah the pain is real

For me was not grand parents but my dad was referring me ALL the time to other people that went to his workshop that I "know about computers" (almost is some sort of arcane knowledge). I remember once somebody approached me with the typical question:

• Are you the one that "knows about computers"?
• (cringing inside already) yes that's me
• You know, I have this fridge that won't cool....

I just left even before he finished the sentence. My dad later that day asked me why I was rude to someone (I know it was this guy). I just told him "imagine you know about cars and somebody asks you fix their fridge". Didn't even need to say more.

So for some people in my place, " knowing about computers " means arcane knowledge with nearly everything with a digital screen on it.

For really old people.... I am more comprehensive. But man some people I swear... Like they ask me to help them with stuff I haven't even used either, like I am going to do the same as you read, think and act. But some people seem to suddenly forgot to even know how to read or think.

I try to adopt the mindset that my loved ones don't need me to be their tech enthusiast... But they need me to be their tech therapist.

Please let your grandparents know about scams.

I relate so much with this meme.

Answer was just below the post

I actually enjoy being the one who helps with tech, it helps me spend time with my grandma and family members who normally just keep to themselves.

If it would bring my grandmother who passed away some thirty eight years ago back among the living and provide me with but a humble single day with her, I would gladly set up that phone.

Damn my grandparents didn't live to see smartphones. I've never thought about that.

As frustrating as it can be, some day you’re going to miss getting those phone calls. 😢

Id love for my grandma to ring me asking for help with her computer. She got me interested in computers back with a Commodore 64 when I was a kid.

Love you gran!

I would love to help my mom again with her computer. Or her phone. Honestly, I just want to see my mom for whatever reason.

Finally, the moment has come to show my inner technical support.
