Granny's Got Some Technology

In light of my last post... in which I documented the aging of my son AND myself...

I thought you would all get a hoot out of this.

I spent 45 minutes on the phone with our internet service provider yesterday. The internet was not connecting, and I couldn't figure out what in the world was wrong.
Calling tech support was my last option, but I had tried everything.

The tech support gal "rebooted" and "pinged" and did all sorts of other things that involved modems and routers, and then she asked me if the "wireless" button on the computer was switched "off" or "on."

Y'all. I didn't know where that button was. I didn't even know it existed.
Well.

When my 12 year-old showed me the button, it was in the "off" position.
I flipped it on, and the internet was back. Miracle.

Somewhere at a dinner table last night, a tech gal was telling a hysterical story about Granny and her laptop.
