Gary gave me this IEEE magazine to read on the bus. It had some good technical information, a funny picture on SPAM email, and a insert my mother reminded me of as I talked with her.
No, she didn't read it. She is just the typical ordinal folk that shy from technology. Well, in the conversation she got very heated while voicing her frustrations on not knowing how to do all this modern stuff.
I feel stupid when I read or hear something that goes over my head. Yet, on the other hand, I feel alienated when I know all this modern stuff and fail to fall in to the ordinary folk crowd.
