Mom

[tungincheek]

My mother, God bless her, was given an "Alexa" as a present.  I thought this was a wonderful opportunity, being legally blind while insisting to live on her own.  However, each time I come over, Alexa is unplugged.  I ask why and I'm told "Alexa got mad at me because I kept asking her questions she didn't like".  I tell her that Alexa is simply a computer and there are no feelings involved.  However, when I plug it in and ask Alexa questions, my Mom warns me that I'll make her mad.  This makes me contemplate what future technology will be like and how I'll cope with it.  Technology seems to be advancing faster than some folks can keep up with.  Will that be me?  Technology is exciting.  Can I keep up?

I'm smiling at having read this post because your Mother sounds like a true gem! 

I don't know that I will be able to keep up with technology, as fast as it's changing and growing. What I do know is that my daughter gets a huge kick out of watching me try to navigate even the simple things like trying to find a movie on Netflix using the Fire Stick remote. (Hey, it's harder than it sounds!!)
