Someone fucking teach me how to talk to a Virgo moon because she's been my family my whole life but teaching her how to work with technology is like pulling teeth.
@jesibeans I'm a virgo sun who's tech fluent, my advice for teaching old ppl tech is to go Very Very Slowly and explain each step, each element, and/or any questions that are asked
there's a lot of terminology/symbology we already know instinctively because we've grown up with it
also, know when to give up. some old ppl just don't want to learn new tech
@jesibeans oh I totally understand, my grandma refuses to use ANY sort of "advanced" tech, so anything outside of her TV, car, and home phone is just *too* complicated
and then there's tech she understands, but is too paranoid to use, like cellphones
but the worst was when I had to lie about being in online college courses because it would've taken too long to explain how it works every time she asks about it OTL
@DragonMagic ...holy hell, that's wild.
Right now it's trying to explain live streaming and redirected links to her and I'm like "dude -I- barely understand the former and the latter is like a detour, but on the internet."
@DragonMagic all very accurate points. it's more i want to try and help but god, she can be so damn stubborn.
but again, thank you, and i do need to be patient on that (and sadly my aunt is in that last sentence - just...does -want- to learn)
