MyTechnologically Challenged Parents

My parents just came back from their first trip to the US and this is what my aunt emailed to us:

PLEASE GET THEM AN EMAIL ADDRESS(I'LL SEND THEIR PIX VIA THEIR EMAIL ADDRESS) AND TEACH THEM HOW TO USE THE INTERNET! EVEN JUST GOOGLE.THEY NEED TO GET WITH THE PROGRAM. I REFUSE FOR THEM TO BE LIKE DINOSAURS. THEY ARE NOT ANCIENT. THEY NEED TO BE UPDATED AND BE HIP, LIKE DADDY BEN. I'M SURE U GUYS WANT YOUR PARENTS TO BE "IN THE KNOW" THERE'S REALLY NO EXCUSE. I'M THINKING OF THIS FOR THEIR OWN BENEFIT.

I love the dinosaur part hehehe...
My parents are both technologically challenged. Just imagine my dad lugging his jurassic - unbranded point and shoot 35mm camera. I offered to lend him my digital camera but he refused.
I think they are just too lazy to learn these new stuff. They are not ignorant because my 2 brothers have all these hi-tech gadgets scattered in the house.
I once lent them a very easy to use digital camera when they went to Baguio but they didn't use it. blah...blah...blah...So many excuses.
I also made an email address for my dad once but he never used it.

When it comes to technology the oldies tends to be depended on the young ones.
I think they just refuse to understand because if they listened and opened their minds they will realize that these technology around is making life so much easier.
