My mom got a new phone!! It is a Galaxy S2 from Samsung and it is just so smart. When we skyped in this morning, she was really mad at her new phone because she didn't even know how to write a text. It was kind of funny for me but she was really serious and tried hard to be familiar with her new technology.
But, actually, she went through all these process when she got her last phone. :) She needed to ask me every function of her cell phone or computer when she accept them for the first time. I still don't know why it takes so long time for the older generation, like my mother, to get used to use new technology, but it is pretty sure that it is very hard for them.
I was so sorry because I couldn't help to get accustomed her new phone this time because I am here, in Utah, but it will be a good practice to get familiar with using new technology without me.
Like as my mom's case, almost every older people don't be happy with living in new technology (especially in Korea as my experience, haha) but some of them are interested in new technology and try to be familiar with it. For example, my grandfather really enjoys getting new information about the world by surfing the Internet. He and I talk on the Internet messenger and he sometimes visit my mini homepage to see my pictures and comment on those.
Anyways, I hope that my mom can be familiar with her new cell phone, so that we can text through Kakaotalk(Korean free messenger via cell phone) soon! :)
