Have you ever tried to teach someone to use a computer?

I have tried to teach a friend basic computer knowledge and I found it fun. He had a difficulty in using the mouse, like your mom did, and found it hard to maneuver it. I have enjoyed teaching him but, unfortunately, he never learned.

Yes and I must say that you'll be needing lots of patience 'coz you can't expect someone to learn stuffs with a snap of a finger. I thought my mom how to access her emails, use Facebook, etc. Sometimes, i get frustrated whenever she asks me something because I always assume that she'd pick up the instructions easily but i was wrong. So sometimes if i'm too lazy to teach her, i'd create a step-by-step screenshot for her reference. if it's someone over the internet, I'd do the same, Give him/her a step-by-step instruction but that person still doesn't get it. I'd give him/her anther instruction together with a screenshot of how things will look like. if it's really a hopeless case, i'd just ask him/her to download a file and i'ld remotely access his/her computer and tell him/her to watch carefully what i'll be doing.

Yes it happened to me too such as trying to teach something on computer basis as well!!So normally people when they start think about computers as something of complicated as well and so they feel difficult to understand many things!! I noticed that in many cases people are that they don't know about it they are totally scared to learn it as well...so in many cases they just try to memorize some commands and so they will do them everytime they are on computer!!i think it is not so difficult to understand and use computers as well considering also that i learnt this by myself so i think everyone can do it...surely for people which are a bit old all the features and basis should be really complicated because it derives from another world and so they can feel difficult also the mouse or other simple things!!

I tried teaching my little cousin to use the computer. It was pretty disastrous. He wanted me to help him go to the Hot Wheels website to play the games. We found the games alright but I had some trouble helping him use the controls. He also didn't know how the mouse works or how the up and down arrows work. I guess he's still too young for the computer.

I have been trying to teach my sister-in-law how to use her computer, and i think that it is a lost cause. she is in her 60's and she is just not comprehending what i try to show her. but i finally got her so she can get on the internet, and she can start looking around.

I tried to teach my grandpa how to use a computer properly. It was very frustrating and I had to have a lot of patience but after a couple months or weeks, he finally got it. He occasionally asks me for help, but on most things he is all fine on now.
