What is it about old people and new technology? In the main they just don’t understand it, no matter how many times the principle is explained to them.

Which means it’s a risky business giving a new computer to a Grandma or Granddad – they may get so annoyed and frustrated that they end up smashing the PC in to tiny bits.

However, you can save all that heartache by giving them a guidebook before hand…or at least that’s the idea, and it would have worked if the guy was wearing his spectacles!

Today is Father’s Day, and I’m sure some Dads and Granddads are receiving electronic equipment that they will then struggle to work for the next few years. Does anyone know how to program this DVD recorder?
