My father is pretty on to it. He's one of those people who just enjoys learning things for the sake of it, but he always does it in the geekiest way possible. He tried 'learning' how to blog and contribute to wikis, by getting books from the library... rather than just doing it, or Googling some advice. He's fine with anything normal with computers and cellphones, and regularly pokes fun at my mother for having no clue. He is teaching himself te reo Māori, too.

So yeah my mother. Has no idea how to switch her cell phone off or on. Enough said. She has worked out a few things now, but I had to spend like two entire nights teaching her how to do the most simple things in Powerpoint. It sucks too that she must think I do really basic things at work, because if I told her how I write scripts in Python, she'd wonder how a python got into the country, and what the **** I'm doing to it, if she even knew what I meant by 'writing scripts' in the first instance.
