Can we please have a thread for the totally computer ignorants. Those of us over 50 speak a different language than the younger generations. For instance our use of language:
Link--part of a chain
URl--something that needs spellcheck
Website--where the spider builds his dinner plate
Twitter--bird song
HTML--something else that needs spellcheck

I could go on and on but maybe someone can help with the problem that those of us in the Medicare generation would really like to join you but are totally confused by the lingo of the internet.

Please help us oldies join in all the fun you seem to be having.

My Dad is 60 and he understands all that language. (But then again he sold computers in the 1980's when they started coming in.

The thing is people have to use that lingo or else we would be typing out hugely long sentences everytime. You do pick them up as you go along, and we are all learning.

Computers (and software) are amazingly complex things, they are not a toaster where you just put the bread in and press it down. But programmers try to make the software easy to use.

I mean to say 20 years ago, if you told someone that in 10 years time anyone would be able to sell something they made at home to a person the other side of the world in a few day, they would not have believed you.

Ebid allows you to do that.

My Dad and I have helped lots of older people learn computers, the only really annoying thing about it, from their point of view, is having to cope with viruses and spam.

URL = Uniform Resource Locator

URI = Uniform Resource Identifier

Slightly simplistic but basically the same thing but URI is newer terminology.

Thanks for the support. I had thought I was all alone in the venacular.

Well I am a little (my husband reminds me it is a lot over 60) over 60 and have conqured a lot of things. It would be nice if there was just a way to say push this button here or a simpler way to explain how things work.

It is not that we can't learn it is more that you have taken a lot of the words we have used all our lives and turned them to mean something else. There is also the generation of proper that for us is ignored. I appreciate your response because you use puncuation and caps and periods where they are supposed to be. It is so much easier to read and understand. Remember when a virus was a cold and Spam came in a can.

This has been a wonderful experience for me. Lots of help along the way and I enjoy the wonderful senses of humor that pat me on the head and say you are Ok, just a little behind the times.
