And now it's time for my second PSA. You know, my first one was about the importance of talking to your kids about cooties.
This second one is geared towards the older generation. I like to call it how to explain the internet to someone born during or before the Great Depression. ...Ok so it needs a better title.
I came up with my little PSA a while ago when discussing the internet with my sister and my grandma's complete lack of comprehension of it. She has a problem understanding that you can check your email on more then one computer. And this is what I came up with.
Think of the internet as a mall. Like a mall, the internet offers you variety that you can't find elsewhere. It has everything that you could possibly want.
Now, think of the computer as the entrances to the mall. You can access all of what the mall/internet has to offer regardless if you use the food court entrance or the Sears one.
And yes. My analogy did work. I think she now knows that if she checks her email on one computer and then wants to look at the same email on another, it will still be there.
And yes. I have too much time on my hands.
