My mom is an internet freak. She can do anything and everything and does digital camera and scanning and photoshop and stuff too. She even has forums she goes on and has some friends that she met online who are friends in real life now. Omega Lambda and I think that's creepy.

My dad will check his email every now and then but he doesn't get the concept of "logging out". He also goes on some websites for the professional association and some other things he is involved in.

My sister is testing out internet dating. Shocked

Shocked Everyone I've met from the internet is a total weirdo.


My Dad was an internet junkie until recently. He is quite computer literate and proficient in email. Especially forwarding jokes! My mom has the right idea though, she can't even turn on the computer, but she knows to call one of us if she needs information. She gets all the info, we do all the work.

My Dad checks his work email once a week if I'm lucky. And Mom thinks ATMs are too techie, no chance of her coming into the 21st century

My mom and dad are kinda opposites. My mom has this strong aversion towards anything technological whereas my dad loves the internet.
