  1. grandmas and computers on Dreamcast as a Web Browser? · · Score: 1

    My grandma can hardly use or uses the mobile phone she got for her birthday.. she's 79yrs old and has been a sew maker for all her life... Me and my mother has been trying her to learn hwo to use the computer.. but she just isn't interested.. My other grandma is a bit more technical she can use her mobile phone and her satelite reciever but she doesn't have a computer either.. She is 72yrs old.. However I got quite chocked yesterday when my 44 yr old aunt had gotten a computer and learned how to surf the net.. Hell my dad that has a technical job and is 50 surfs the net alot worse than my 44 yrd old aunt... not the least interested in technical devices whatsoever.. However our dads often masters the old technology better.. I can hardly open the hood of a car while my dad can replace the engine all by himself...

  2. computers and health on Geeks and Weight-loss? · · Score: 1

    Now i'm not fat or anything but then i'm only 19.. but most guys my age are alot more fit.. Now thing is that I hate physical exercise, as I guess most of us nerds do... How do you motivate yourself to exercise..?? I think the best way to avoid the bad health effects computers might have on you is to change your life... get a social life... change your eating habbits and get other interests besides sitting at your comp like swimming, watching birds whatever.. get new friends which aren't interested in computers and so on.. A few years ago I mostly sat at my comp now I tend do socialize more with people and sit less at the computer.. So the point is change your life overall not just your eating and exercising habbits
