High Tech Grandma.

My grandmother checking out her Christmas present.

Grandma: "What is this thing?"

We usually try to buy Grandma one big present every year, and this year it was a tablet so she could surf the net, maybe even get on Facebook ;) When Mom and I went shopping for it a few weeks ago, the saleslady couldn't believe we wanted a tablet for an 84 year old grandmother. But I think it's perfect for her to learn on. And while my grandma is not tech savvy, I do have her favorite sites. . . that is, sites she enjoys for us to show her on our computers. . . bookmarked and of course, both Mom and I are here to help if she gets stuck.

I imagine once she learns how to work it completely by herself, she'll be speeding down the information superhighway. She's already visited Facebook and several other places, including here (Hi Grandma!).

I wasn't sure she'd like it, but she's enjoyed it so much that a couple of times when her tablet was charging she commandeered my laptop.
