When he died my ...My first Google died too. My dad. When he died my mother was pissed and one of the reasons was because he knew so much -- he was an early nerd, a practically-useless egghead, that's what we called nerds when I was a kid -- he could almost answer any question. He had this fantastic memory for details. One of the interesting things was that it wasn't too long before we figured out that my mother actually knew more than him. He, like many of the men of his generation, was full of bombast. <br /><br />Then came Google. We got her her first computer, a MAC of course, when she was 72. She's been upgraded twice since then. She's 85 now. And in addition to Google, she has YouTube and as she first called it, uTunes. And Google is just so much easier, there's no care and feeding required, not like a man.Marlainahttp://www.lifewithnofixedaddress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12745308.post-74053928313570039272012-03-15T04:19:53.004-03:002012-03-15T04:19:53.004-03:00Wow!
