Recently there has been a spurt of people who weren't net savvy at all coming to Facebook and other Social Sites. With that there has also been spurt of people who laugh at them or are disappointed with what they Post. And people who are close to them refuse to help them do the right thing sometimes (I am one of them sometimes). Even admit that they are embarrassed by them at times. But I have begun to understand a little about that and I understand it as our mistake or mistakes of those who have taught them how to use it. They are just trying to adjust in a world which is moving at a rabbits pace. While they have gotten old now and are trying to understand it with a pace of a tortoise because frankly its all hocus pocus to them.
From that somebody I know are some of my closest. Sometimes they post irrelevant things, Sometimes click on somethings they should not, Or post something with a lot of spelling mistakes. Yes it does get frustrating sometimes to correct the mistakes because they are a lot. Also if you point them out they refuse to correct it because they might not know how or might not care, As long as they think whatever they have said is conveyed.
When we started using the net we read all about it and learnt to use it properly. Else even with us It would have been the same story. So I guess we should try to teach them how to use it rather than feeling embarrassed or refusing to help (Been there Done that). We were at the same stage while learning about Life and they did not throw us out of the house or admitted getting embarrassed by Us when we were kids. They just had that patience to let us learn. I guess even we should give them a chance.
