My mother insists on calling every piece of computer equipment a hard-drive… then asks what that Western Digital thing is on my desk.

Yesterday I was trying to show my mom how to send an email attachment. I told her to "click on the Microsoft Word document behind the Outlook window". My mom spent literally half a minute looking directly at the Microsoft Word file and said, "I don't see the word document". I pointed right at the file on the screen and she still said, "I can't see the word document!" I was telling her to click on the Microsoft Word document, but she thought I was telling her to click on the word, 'document'. She thinks that a 'Microsoft word' is a special sort of word relating to how a computer functions.

My grandma needed to get online to order groceries the other day. So I got her onto the internet. I told her to type the website into the address bar. When I turned back around she told me it wasn't working. I looked at the address and it said "The Website".
