re: Dad asked me to repair brother's computer, "It doesn't work."

I only have half brothers, so maybe that explains it. But really, I just think my brothers are all just a tad too old to have been able to immerse themselves into technology at an early age. I'm the youngest of 5 boys. The second youngest is also fairly tech-oriented and owns a surveillance company.

It's different in each family. I'm the oldest of four and my younger sibling's capabilities in just about any tech, if registered in geologic terms, would be conidered Pre-Cambrian.

I wanted to set up the family to have family meetings over video, so my mom and dad can see everyone, and you would have thought I was suggesting they put in a television production studio. I suggested Google Hangouts and the pushback at "having to learn how to operate a new program" was just too much for them.
