Technologically Challenged Dad


One of the best reasons to have children is that they can help you navigate life’s ever-changing technology when you’ve reached the point of befuddlement.

My sons and wife gave me the entire original Twilight Zone TV series — all five years’ worth — as a DVD pack Christmas present. I had an earlier eclectic DVD set of a handful of episodes. I probably would have tried to sell that at a local entertainment store and received a few bucks. My oldest son, Josh, suggested he sell it for me on the Internet to get a better price. Sure enough, it drew a $28 bid.

Youngest son Zach has recorded music from cassette tapes onto CDs for me; I don’t know how he did it, but more power to him.

Middle son Jesse suggested scanning papers that I would have had to drive into the city to fax otherwise.

Technology and young sons are a wonderful combination. Hey, boys, somebody needs to teach me how to put together a PowerPoint presentation for seminary.
