Quoted : _"Jacques was 76 years old and his kids had bought him a laptop.

I finally just told him that you can do just about anything in the virtual world that you can do in the real world. And so help me, God, I quoted a Microsoft commercial. “Where do you want to go?” (“Today” is implied.)

He thought he was being cute, I guess, when he said, “Paris!” I Googled Paris, and he was impressed by the photo of the Eiffel Tower and all, and the Google map, but then I told him I could do so much better than that.

I asked him for the address of the house he grew up in, and then I took him on a virtual walk down the street where he’d lived as a child, a town he hadn’t seen since he left as a 20-something. He pointed out where his father had owned a bakery (it’s a camera shop now), the church where he had his First Communion (it’s still there), and the corner where his school used to be (vacant lot).

Then, I set up a Gmail account for him, and a Skype account, and about 15 minutes and a flurry of text messages later, he was video-chatting with his favorite granddaughter. He said it was like Buck Rogers.

Ah, but the coup de grâce was when I found him a new fishing boat on eBay."_

Dulu istrinya kerjanya mengeluh terus di Facebook, kesepian di rumah, suami pergi ke kantor setiap hari, sendirian di rumah tidak ada anak.

Sekarang ? Istrinya mengeluh terus di Facebook, anaknya menangis di malam hari, rewel ketika dia mau tidur siang, sebentar menangis, sebentar minta susu, dst.

Haduh…. jadi maunya apa ?? Ini salah, itu salah. Gak ada puasnya 😀

Mengeluhnya di publik / via Facebook pula…..saya yang cuma membacanya saja malu sekali. Entah bagaimana perasaan suaminya…
