Two Dads: One Tech Enthusiast, the Other Tech Averse
Summary:
One of my fathers is a tech enthusiast, always the first to explore new gadgets and software. The other father is stuck with an ancient computer and a painfully slow dial-up connection.Article:
I have two fathers, which might sound unusual. One is my biological dad, and the other, my stepfather, is a geneticist. Although I only lived with my biological father for a brief period as a child, I’ve spent over two decades with my stepfather. I share strong connections with both, albeit differently.
Recently, I realized something intriguing about my fathers, particularly concerning my work in technology and the Internet.
One of my dads is a tech enthusiast. He eagerly adopts new technology, gadgets, and websites. On the flip side, my other dad relies on an outdated computer with a dial-up Internet connection. The contrast between their approaches is striking?"almost like they exist in different worlds.
As for me, I'm somewhat of an enigma. I work as a creative writer for an Internet hosting company and am fascinated by the Internet's innovations. Yet, I face challenges when navigating these tools, a blend of both my fathers' traits.
Currently, I'm visiting my girlfriend in another city and staying with her. At home, connecting online is seamless. However, in this new environment, I face hurdles that are simple yet perplexing to me.
I brought my laptop along, but my girlfriend’s dial-up connection complicates things. Her computer is a PC in Chinese, adding to my confusion. On my Mac, switching languages is easy, but I'm less familiar with PCs. Perhaps I inherited a lack of patience for tech issues from my tech-averse dad. Even his digital answering machine remains unused, relying instead on a manual one that serves him well.
Attempting to use my girlfriend’s connection feels daunting, so I tried her university’s library where wireless access was rumored to be available. Despite my efforts, I couldn’t connect. Reluctant to ask for help as a non-student, I resorted to using library computers. They work, but file transfer challenges persist, with compatibility issues deterring me from using a thumb drive.
I save my work as email attachments?"an unconventional yet effective workaround.
Another frustration has been accessing my messenger service. University computers lack the software, and downloading it requires permissions I don’t have. Internet cafés are an alternative, though I dislike the notion of paying to work. Despite this, it's a relief to video chat with my brother in India, making faces and sharing laughs.
These experiences illustrate how I’ve inherited traits from both fathers. Despite finding tech challenging, I persist, aiming to master these tools. I trust that tech innovators are working towards simplifying things for all users.
Looking ahead, I plan to encourage my biological dad to upgrade to a faster Internet connection. The Internet offers a vast realm of knowledge?"searchable in seconds, unlike the traditional library trek.
No matter what, I’m committed to the journey. I hope to inspire my tech-averse dad to embrace this incredible digital world, showcasing the wonders just a click away.
