My suffering would be the answer to that question! He looked at my computer screen and found it simple hilarious that I was googling "what is a hash tag?".
How is it that I am supposed to know this, and the many other computer related terms that I seem automatically expected to be an expert in. When I was at school computers were a giant thrill and rather scary. In fact I think in my whole time at school we spent just 6 sessions learning to use the computers, and in those days it pretty much covered the comprehensive topics of turning it on and off.
In fact at home we had a spectrum computer which spent longer loading and crashing than the time we ever actually played on it. Now those were the days, the basic table tennis game, two paddles and a ball bouncing between them is something I can just about handle.
Anyway I now find myself in a world of smart phones, twitter, and gadgets. I work on line so I know I should be able to grasp the concepts a little faster than your average 80 year old computer virgin, but sadly its all a bit of a struggle.
Will I ever be computer literate? Maybe I can just accept that I suck and continue to use Ali and the kids for all my computer needs!
