Technology and Old People Don't Mix *True Story* - GoFuckYourself.com

I've shared this on here before but felt the need to do it again.

Okay this was at least 7 years ago my uncle gets a phone call from my grandfather and he is pissed.

My grandfather tells my uncle that people are chatting on the internet on his t.v.

My uncle does not know what the hell is going on and my grandfather just gets angrier because he won't believe him.

So my uncle hops in his truck and goes over to my grandfathers house and my grandfather says again...people are on talking on the internet and it's on my t.v.

Come to find out my grandfather had turned on the closed captioning for the hearing impaired...LOL and the text scrolling on the bottom of the screen he thought was people in a chat room.

Crazy old coot.

I'm 35 and have a college degree in computers...... But it always strikes me as odd that when you call tech support for something the first thing they do is ask you if it's plugged in.

I'm in charge of all the computers at the Lightspeed office. I was setting up a new computer, and the damn thing seemed to boot up but the nothing would come up on the monitor.

I guess it's true. It does help if you PLUG THE FUCKING THING IN!

I'm pretty good with computers but I occasionally have a brain fart. I run 4 computers (one monitor) and occasionally I go nuts trying to figure out what in the hell is wrong with the sound only to realise that I haven't switched the speakers to the computer I am using at the moment.
