The question is what motivates them.
My mom wanted conservative social media. I just had to install it, and off she went.
She barely answers phone calls correctly. She can't pull up her contacts or voicemail. Google maps is something that somebody else needs to do. The refusal to learn is solid and hard.
What to do? Parents.
- bapak 1y agoMy mother's brain immediately blanks out the moment I tap something on screen. I can see it. If it's 3 taps she says "oh it can do so much, I'll never remember it" And that's it. Complete refusal to learn. She uses her phone daily but struggles "to go back," pressing every x and back button until there's nothing, then finally swipe up to reach the iPad/iPhone's Home Screen. She's not that old.
- chasil 1y agoMy relationship is not like yours, but... What's her favorite novel? Load it as an epub and spend as much time as you wish in visits reading it to each other. Make her run the ereader app. Expand on that. If you don't want to spend time in this way, connect her to the grandchildren on facetime. Wow is that a critical function that I was not expecting.
- ZPrimed 1y agoI would've refused to give her the cesspool that is conservative social media, but I guess if she's explicitly asking for it she's probably too far gone to remediate
- fragmede 1y agoThe question is, how much would you pay for fake conservative social media?
