My living Grandmother won’t read this post, unless my mom prints it out for her and hands it to her in person –actually a common practice in my family.<\/p>\n
A few weeks ago, I had a phone conversation with Grandma, we talked of politics, and how many companies would not hire Asians when she was my age, and of course, my favorite topic, the internet.<\/p>\n
She still lives in a print world, but is very aware of the online world, and ask me to tour her through the internet when I see her. According to social technographics, she’s an ‘inactive’ when it comes to social media, and that’s ok with me. <\/p>\n
She loves to see me in print, and stumbles across my name in her newspaper reading? I rarely touch news ‘paper’, as online is far faster, and much more interactive; “you can’t doubleclick paper” I tell her. <\/p>\n
Perhaps one of the things that she has over me is wisdom and experience, one observation she’s had over the years is that she’s noticed that “newspapers are getting thinner”.<\/p>\n
Despite the generational differences that we have, we’re still the same, we seek information, news, and opinions about the greater world.<\/p>\n
Today is a special day, one that I’ll always remember, like every Oct 31st, today is her birthday, Happy Birthday Grandma<\/em>, I’ll call you in a bit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" My living Grandmother won’t read this post, unless my mom prints it out for her and hands it to her in person –actually a common practice in my family.
