ICWA 1

There is a definite generation gap between my parents and my sister and I. My sister and I are fast, efficent typers that are familiar with all of the common computer programs. We are always on the Internet on our Ipods and phones and know how to use video-calling programs like Skype. My parents, especially my mom, are not so tech savy. My mom only types with one hand instead of two and gets confused while using almost every computer program with the exception of Microsoft Word. Her most recent technology update was learning how to send text messages on her phone. My dad is a little more comfortable with computers and his phone but still has trouble with things like Facebook and Skype. We are unlike the Campbells because my parents are not the ones using technology. However, my mother does get angry just like Mrs. Campbell does when my sister and I are too focused on our phones and laptops rather than spending time together.
