You Are Never To Old by tonygig

You Are Never To Old

My Father came to visit and wanted to put some new games on his tablet, I showed him once how to do it and left him to it, Now he as 36 games on his tablet, (then said Technology's Brilliant.) He is 86 years of age.
That is just brilliant Tony....We got one for our daughter for Xmas....And now cant get her off it! :)

Great story and shot.

I think it's that willingness to learn and openness to new things which keep your father young. My auntie will be 89 in April and she's the same. I like your shot.

Lovely capture!

This is fabulous, Tony. I love when older people (it's hard for me to say that since I'm in my 60's now ; ) are embracing technology. Some won't touch it and I admire those who will. I hope your dad enjoys the games.

:) my mum has had a laptop for a couple of years and still can't use it. She did go to a few classes run at the local primary school until the teacher running it died. She hasn't bothered since. I have tried to show her a few things but we live in different states. Good on your dad!
