The Digital Explorer vs. the Slow or Non-Initiator!


I am working in a really great community. Like many libraries, we have people of all ages who are adapting to and loving the new Tablet and ebook environment. They come into our library asking questions and getting help.

While one can say that there are generations that are adapting more easily, there are still a large number in what I would call the unexpected category marching full force into the new digital technology. 

In my work, I also run into all ages that are not interested in this technology craze. However, many are looking to help their loved ones and friends become part of the 21st Century way of life.

Some are blessed by the help from others, and then their are others that really would rather be left alone.  View these short clips and enjoy!

I have laughed and guffawed at these, but there is truth in their humor. So if you are one of the uninitiated and don't want help, this will make your point. If you are one who is struggling to become proficient with technology, this will encourage you that you are not alone. If you have tried to help others and have been rebuffed, this will soothe your brow!

Happy viewing!!
