Do your parents not understand technology? Do they ask you stupid questions? Do they send you absurd text messages? Do they use words like “MyFace,”“SpaceBook,“or “The World Wide Web?”

My humanities teacher spent most of the class trying to turn on the over head projector. Once she finally got it to work, she started pressing the ‘start’ button with her palm on the wall as if the whole wall just turned touch screen. She couldn’t understand why it wasn’t working.
