How to Help People Understand Relatively Simple Technology- Max Kaufman

This is geared mostly towards the assistance of a parent who might not be the most skilled when it comes to the technology available to us in the 21^st century. First a set of guidelines, you should generally avoid saying harsh words like “old” and “simple”. Generally you should not reveal how easy the task actually is, for instance treat attaching a word document to an email with the same respect you would a heart transplant surgery. A second word of advice, do not get emotionally invested in the teaching process, you will find yourself becoming irritated with your pupil for their lack of comprehension, you must remind yourself that it isn't your fault that they are having difficulty grasping a given topic. One last very imperative piece of advice is to be wary of helpful ways to teach children a given skill even if it seems applicable to teaching your pupil, most elder folk see this an insult to their intellect and in the grand scheme this conflict is quite hindering, regardless of how helpful your catchy song might actually be.
