  1. Well it was very funny! It reminded me of one day when I had to explain my grandma how the computer works! She could not understand why I was able to watch videos or read "letters" from my computer.
    Thanks Liliana! This is such a great idea!
    See you!

  2. Funny! Reminds me of Monty Python's kind of humour. Here's the first scene from Monty Python's Holy Grail:

  6. Hi Liliana! I really enjoyed watching this video. It was hilarious. It reminds me of the time when one of my friends explained me how to search for information or download music on the internet. It was hard for me to understand what my friend said but then, I could cope well with this useful tool.
    Thanks Liliana for giving us the opportunity to express our opinions and thoughts!
    See you soon.

  7. Hello everybody!! I really enojoyed tha video, very funny! I also read the comments each of you made (my classmates) and I realized most of you felt identified with this person or have a relative who has problems with technology...don't worry! my grandmother is 72 and she's in front of the PC all the time!I have a ciber-grandma!! jaja
    see us on Monday people!Belu

    p/d: thanks Lily for this opportunity, I like the message you left!

  8. Excellent video!!!! It is very very funny!
    I find the situation in the video really common nowadays. There many people who don’t know how to use a computer yet, or a cell phone, or a MP 3, for example, and they need our help.
    Personally, I consider this is a process; when you get used to working with something, then it becomes easier to use. This has always happened!

    See you!
    Bye!

  9. haha! Yes, technonology creates neoanalphabets unless you keep updated, and sometimes it's kind of hard but necesary!! Any way, using hightech is not the only way of dealing with information, but I have to admit that internet is great, it's like having an endless library in front of your eyes!! :)

    See you amiguituss!!

  10. What a nice video!!!! It makes me laugh a lot!!!!I think that it`s a funny and original way of explaning what is happening with technology today. Many people (including myself)are afraid of using things they do not understand at first sight. Thanks a lot Liliana for makes (and forced jeje)us work with technology. Otherwise, I wouldn`t be part of a blog!!!!

  11. Hi guys!!! It seems the video has reminded most of you of other people rather than yourselves. Well... that's good to know! It implies that probably, because of your ages, most of you feel comfortable working with technology! Way to go! Let's make the most of it for our class and for your future use as teachers.

  12. I couldn't help posting this poem. It is in keeping with the spirit of the monk's video. Hope you enjoy it! Congrats on the blog, I'll keep checking it to see what's new!

    The Good Old Days

    A computer was something on TV
    From a science fiction show of note
    A window was something you hated to clean
    And ram was the cousin of a goat.

    Meg was the name of my girlfriend
    And gig was a job for the nights
    Now they all mean different things
    And that really mega bytes.

    An application was for employment
    A program was a TV show
    A curser used profanity
    A keyboard was a piano.

    Memory was something you lost with age
    A CD was a bank account
    And if you had a 3-in. floppy
    You hoped nobody found out.

    Compress was something you did to the trash
    Not something you did to a file
    And if you unzipped anything in public
    You'd be in jail for a while.

    Log on was adding wood to the fire
    Hard drive was a long trip on the road
    A mouse pad was where a mouse lived
    And a backup happened to your commode.

    Cut you did with a pocket knife
    And paste you did with glue
    A web was simply a spider's home
    And a virus was just the flu.

    I guess I'll stick to my pad and paper
    And the memory that's in my head
    I hear nobody's been killed in a computer crash
    But when it happens they'll wish they were dead.

  14. Both the poem and the video are very funny! It reminds me the first time I entered this blog.It was not as funny as the video of course.
    Although I curse the teacher who forced us to use it, I´ve learned a lot.

  16. The video is really funny, it is true that people usually find new things difficult at first, but with patience, everything can be learnt.
    For example, my granfather (just as belen grandmother) is 85 years old and he uses the computer, and since he is deaf (and doesn't live here) we comunicate thru e mails, and it is actually easier!
