I got up late on the warm Sunday noon and got a message on my phone from Dad saying that he’s out for a brunch with Uncle Edward and few other friends and will be back home by evening. It’s only a week that Dad has started using Facebook and by now he is now connected with most of his school and childhood buddies.
In the evening, I was busy checking some mails since I had to leave for a party post that. Dad had come back and after a while I saw him trying to connect his SLR camera with my notebook. He said he had clicked some photographs and wanted to upload them on Facebook. Dad told me that Uncle uses Facebook extension on his Google Chrome Browser for a quicker access. He said tonight he will install it and will upload photos post that. Uncle is teaching many new things to my Dad it seems.
I was happy to learn that Dad loves Facebook so much and is excited to learn more and more new things. I left for my party and came back late night only to find that Dad was still glued to the notebook. He told me that he wasn’t able to upload photographs due to some glitches and is hence upset. I could see that kid in him who was desperate to upload his photographs. I love these idiosyncrasies of Dad. I told him to go and sleep and that I will ask Marc, my colleague for resolving the issues.
Marc is a certified techie and has been resolving tech problems of many people, simply over-the-phone. I call him a Tech Doctor. I knew he would surely have answers to Dad’s Facebook problems. Marc came in by 11:00 hrs. I told him about the issues Dad faced and asked him for a solution. He told me that there are times when one might face issues while installing extensions on the browser and all these minor issues can be solved easily.
I reached back home and found Dad busy in the kitchen. He had cooked chicken for me in dinner. I loved the meal. Post dinner I sat with Dad to resolve his Facebook issues as per the information provided by Marc.
I wanted Dad to learn everything so I asked him to just follow my instructions and go about it accordingly. As per Marc’s suggestions, I asked Dad to upgrade his Google Chrome Web Browser and re-install the Facebook extension. I also asked him to keep a tab on the size and resolution of the pictures that he is uploading so that he might not face the issues. Dad had a big smile on his face since he was able to upload all those brunch photographs successfully. He called Marc over the phone and thanked him for his assistance.
Dad is becoming more tech-savvy with each new day. He is learning new things every day. His next question to me was-“What’s with this Twitter?” Dad, I suppose is becoming another social-media savvy man. I only wish he doesn’t become a junkie like me!
