SHIT...major fuckup

if you have to worry about your grandma finding "weed videos" in your internet history you probably aren't of age to be here?? lol who cares

 

big deal

like shes gonna interrogate you... and its not like you can't think of an excuse anyways

 

If you grandmother isn't to good with technology but knows what a virus is, say it was a virus. You can do that with porn that

 

I wouldnt worried at all about that. Especially because if someone finds weedy vids Im of age and it wouldnt matter anyways.

 

[quote name='"tackthecack"']its just embarrassing you know.....like to keep my relationship with my grandma sweet and innocent not druggy......

also why the hell is it that on every other thread someone feels the need to try to catch someone out for being underage....why do you feel the need to care so much and just accept that there is absolutely no way of actually catching people who are underage[/quote]

I get the relationship thing. Some people it may be hard breaking the news to. Even though its not a bad thing, it could be bad in their eyes so I see where youre coming from.

Well, I know the mods take it very serious about underage people. And some do get caught because something slips out and is noticed. I think the mods just really want to keep this place minor free. And they enforce that.

 

my grandma only knows how to click on the link that says email and have it auto sign in then she fowards all her old lady stuff to everyone in her contacts.

thats computer time with my grandma.

your grandma knows how to history? lol

 

Dude stop trippin', seriously.. It's not worth the stress worrying about it, especially since most( but not all) elders are technologically retarded.. no offense..

 

You'll be fine

 

Hahaha I did the something similar when I looked up porn on my gma's computer when I was in my teens. At the time, I didn't know how to clear my history, let alone the websites I visited from the main drop down bar. Well, my mom, gma and I were on her computer a few days after, and low and behold, one of the websites on the drop down bar was porn . com. I got extremely embarrassed and played stupid, while my mom sarcastically called my gma out for looking at porn! They assumed there was a virus.


Twas quite funny

 

Kinda off topic, but if you consider the exponential growth rate of technology, if this generation's elders are technologically fucked, imagine how fucked we're gonna be when we are that generation.

We grew up around computers and our elders didn't, which explains the gap in technical aptitude. While technologies will advance in the future, the way that people interface with computers won't change all that much.

 

Well I don't really believe that all old people are technologically retarded anyways. I know a guy who's over 60 but he knows way more about tech and computers than I do. It's not like they aren't capable of it. It's just whether or not they choose to embrace it.

 

yea... but in reality some one who is over 60 isn't really that "old" in respects of modern technology. Lets say some one is 65... that means they were born in 1947 or so. That means, when they were in their 40's it was the 80s and computers already started being a talked about thing, and started to pop up in the work place. they were only in their 50's during the 90's when the internet started to really boom, and most likely had to use computers some time in their career before they retired.

I have an uncle who is 59 and an IT guy, I have an aunt who's 65, who goes on facebook, uses the computer on a daily basis, and just installed a graphics card on her pc by herself (with a little over the phone support from me).

But... one of my grandmothers is 75, she knows how to use computers, uses her to email and play games but that's about it. And I have another grandmother who is 85 who is basically technologically illiterate.

I think it's just those few key decades difference that makes the difference in people knowing how to use technology. Some one who was born in the 40's, or 50's, grew up in the age of the atom,they saw the space race, they grew up in the age of technology, they saw and had to adapt to the growth of computers.
But then you have some one like my grandother who was born in the 30's who didn't even see a TV until she was into her late teens.

 

I have a professor in college who is like 65 who was the schools first computer teacher back in the day and is still doing it.

He is pretty good at it, even though i knew everything he tried to tell us everyone was being a dick about it too when he actually knew more than them.

It really depends on the old person...

Not all old people cant computer, but A LOT of time its true that they cant. The boob tube is hard enough for my grandpa lol. The computy would make his brain explode.

 

hopefully your granny learned some truth about the cannabis plant

 

Yes. Yes it will. Drastically.

 

How? The fundamental operations of computers hasnt changed at all since the first GUI based operating systems came out. Interactive graphical environments which process input and provide output in a logical form. The only way we can go from there is to have chips in our heads which process our thoughts and send requested information directly to our brains, but even that could have major consequences.

Maybe mice and keyboards will be replaced with looking, blinking, and speaking, screens might be replaced with 3d holograms or imaginary displays streamed directly into our optical nerves, but we'll still be fundamentally interacting with text, graphics, and sound, and, on a lower level, files and directories. The way computing fundamentally works is perfectly fine, and doesnt need to change, which is why it hasnt for decades.

Edit: some wise words there in your sig. Respect.
