My father is amazingly computer illiterate. My mom and I have tried to show him the way, but he's pretty stubborn. He can type about 3 words per minute (btw, learning to type correctly is a huge huge huge factor for getting people to explore the internet - imagine searching for something using one finger), but he understands Amazon.
This can be dangerous, but try walking your grandma through one-click shopping. I say it's dangerous because it can lead to impulsive buying, but Amazon introduces new users to search, user comments/reviews, and ecommerce. I think it is a good starting point to being introduced to the web.
side question - My mom is getting better and better using the internet/computer, but I can't figure out how to explain the concept of iTunes/big music library to her. Does anyone have any advice?
- Tichy 19y agoI guess skip iTunes and go directly to online music?
