Tech support for luddites (Read: your parents)
Are you spending every visit home showing your dad how to turn the computer on... again? Fielding frantic phone calls from your mother about how her monitor is "broken," when it turns out it's just sleeping? Then you're going to love Google's latest brainchild. Styled after those fill-in-the-blank postcards you used to take with you to summer camp, the Teach Parents Tech website allows you to easily send a quick email to your tech-unsavvy folks (or other tech noob) highlighting your choice of educational videos on topics like changing your screensaver, sharing a video, finding things online, or any other simple task that may have them befuddled. It probably won't stop them from insisting you spend half of Thanksgiving "making the wireless go," but it's a start. -Mir Check out Teach Parents Tech from Google.
