>>562852471

>>562852471
jesus fuck this is all kinds of lol

Here's the one from the original thread:

>be teaching computer class full of oldies
>old man comes in late, sits in corner in back, and turns monitor away from everyone
>starts furiously working on something
>ignore him and continue teaching and walking around classroom
>every time I come near him, he minimizes his window
>heisuptosomething.jpg
>after class, check his computer
>he bypassed the filter and was looking at porn
>about 20 pictures of naked women saved to desktop
>except that on each one, he copied and pasted the face of an old women from a stock photo on it
>wut
>see him leaving with who I assume to be his son
>run up to them and introduce myself
>tell them that I found his "work" and he's no longer welcome in my classroom
>son: "God dammit, Dad, not again."
>again?

The son explained that a few years ago, after his mom died, he asked his dad to move in. He set his dad up in the guestroom and gave him an old computer to use. A few months ago, he needed an old file off that computer.

While looking for it, he found a folder that was about 40 GB. He opened and found more of his masterpieces. Some of them even used photos of women from around the neighborhood the dad had secretly photographed. The son took the computer away. Recently, the dad had been asking to take a computer class and the son obliged. Apparently, it was only to complete his magnum opus.

I know your pain.

While in College, I helped put together an event to teach computer skills as part of a series of free classes offered to the community. Myself and two others were picked as the instructors.

>Old man in back of room
>Son I have a question
>Yessir?
>'My son works for Compuserve, and he told me that you need a Marco to go to the internet.'
>I'm sorry?
>A fucking Marco
>Do you mean 'Macro?'
>Yeahyeahoneofthose
>That's a fancy way of saying shortcut, I suppose.
>A shortcut? A shortcut to where?
>The webpage, I assume.
>What are you talking about? I want to know how to marco to the internet.
>Allmywat
>Sir, if you make a shortcut to a webpage, it's literally the same thing.
>Why don't you let one of the other guys stand up? You obviously don't know what you're talking about.

Turns out his son was the fucking janitor.

I've had so many cottonballs ask me how to get on "The Facebook." I tell them they need to access the internet or get on their browser. Their response: "No, I don't want to get on the internet. I want to get on The Facebooks."

Why did I choose to do this?

>>562855591
My favorite was the day I got asked, "Where is the internet, exactly?"

I actually worked as a security guard at a community center in an "over 50" community when I was in college. I was paid 12$/hour to guard the computer lab which consisted of 15 donated computers running windows 92 that were collectively worth around 50$ in scrap metal. I made 36,000$ that year guarding that computer lab. I saw 3 people use it for a grand total of ten minutes all year.

>>562855708
I had someone ask me where the internet was located. I told him it was basically how every computer was connected, so it didn't really have a central location.

His response: "You mean that my computer is connected to Jennifer Aniston's computer?"
Me: "Theoretically, I guess it could be."
Him: "How can I look at her naked through her computer?"
>no shame in his old age

It's really hard to explain an old guy how are files stored in "the clouds"

>>562856204
I haven't even attempted to explain the cloud to oldies. They can barely wrap their heads around email. I don't need the migraine that would cause.

>>562855708
>Have you ever seen Star Wars? Know what the force is?

Well that escalated quickly

I'm archiving this thread /b/ros, this stuff's great

This is what I can't stand about old people, they just approach computers with this "Nope can't do it, this is stupid" attitude.

90% of the will blame you. for their failure

My boss is a 70 year old lady who runs a pr firm. She keeps paper versions of every single thing she does. This includes emails. I spend at least 4 hours a day printing all of her emails and filing them into metal cabinets. I spent the rest of my day trying to cancel her AOL dial-up internet. She has been paying for it for 9 years and she never noticed. We figured the total amount to be somewhere in the 4,000$ range. She's had cable internet the whole time.

>>562856401
Yeah, I told them about the whole cloud storage thing and they were confused, specially this old man who said I was wrong since files were digital they couldn't be on a physical world.

>>562857126

You gotta see this from their perspective, they've probably been brought up trying to hoard physical magazines and shit for fap material, so a site where you can easily get good videos of 'any kinda woman you wanna see' is pretty fantastical for them

And for what it's worth I admire them having such an energetic libido at their age (what was it, 60-80?)

Yeah, most of them are upwards of 65-70. Oldest I had was 96. She could touch-type like a motherfucker. I would've guessed about 130 wpm, 0 errors easy. She told me she had worked as a secretary for 50 years before retiring. She was the first person in her company to learn to use a typewriter and was given big bonuses for teaching others.

>>562858528
Got a short one in the interest of bumping

My grandfather thinks that attaching the 'wire' (charger!) to his mobile phone will improve the signal strength/call quality

>>562858037
chinks are chinese gooks are koreans.

My boss comes in frantic on Monday morning. She can't find some questionnaire that she needs to teach a class. She tells me that she literally spent the entire weekend searching through hundreds of old boxes of files at work looking for it. She has me spend the entire 8 hour shift looking through the computer files searching for this elusive questionnaire she needs. She eventually finds it in an old box a few days later. We wasted 3 days searching for it. The file was 12 questions like this:
"1. What was something you did as a child that you no longer enjoy? "
This woman has written over 2 dozen novels. She easily could have wrote a new version in 5 minutes. We spent a combined 40 hours of work time searching for it.

It does. At least on older analouge phones.

>>562859440
When in the 1950s your entire fucking job was typing shit for others, all day, every day, on a typewriter with no backspacing, you get good at it. Fast.

Also, all typewriters are mechanical keyboards, which are reportedly (although this is probably just marketing bullshit) much easier to type on.

My step-dad refuses to unplug his laptop, even when a thunderstorm is coming because he thinks his laptop needs constant electricity or the hard drive will get erased.

>It does. At least on older analouge phones.
What he means is that a physical 'wired' connection is better than wirelessly connecting to the network. What he doesnt get is that the 'wire' is just for electricity to charge the battery and not like the one in the good old landline phones.
I still give him credit for knowing that wired > wireless, even though it's in the wrong context.

>>562859821
Typewriters aint mechanical keyboards man, you gotta depress a typewriter key *much* more than a keyboard, mechanical or otherwise. I'm sure she pounds on the keys really hard while typing, applying too much pressure, becuase she's used to the typewriter mechanism.

>>562859821

>>562859821

I've tried typing on my grandpa's old typewriter and FUCK THAT SHIT. Hard as hell to type on compared to a regular mechanical keyboard.

Ah sure, the keys on those are almost exactly like the ones on a keyboard. But you mentioned she was typing from like the 50s, and I assumed electric typewriters weren't invented back then? My grandfather got one like ten years ago, but he had an old mechanical one for like 50.

Let me get this out, why the fuck do people think 'the cloud' is so freaking complicated? It's not new technology at all, it's quite literally web hosting that's been given a friendlier name and usability.

Anyone seen the movie 'sex tape'? I saw the trailer, and the guy mentions 'nobody understands the cloud'...like wtf? What's so god damn complicated about it? Do you not understand how water boils either?

>>562862008
Then you should understand that your granfathers not as crazy as you make him out to be. It's not true with digital signal, but back in analog days having your phone plugged into the charger would actually get you better cell reception.
Just gotta make him understand the idea that digital either works or it doesn't there's no quality.
Also i just realized i have been spelling analog analouge, god i'm fucking tired.

Alright, one more before I head to bed.

>>562866151
Both obviously. If you're motivated enough you can usually figure out a way to do just about anything.
The urge to fap is an extremely powerful motivator.
