How do you explain blogging?

Add comment October 25th, 2007

I was just reading over here about how the author explained blogging to his grannie. Quite amusing, but it also reminded me of those times I’ve also had to explain blogging to old people.

Everyone, regardless of age, is aware of what a computer is. But of course I start out by asking “You know what a computer is, right?”

“Yes, of course I have, you fool!”

“Well, do you know what the internet is?”

“That’s that newfangled contraption that you need a computer for, right?”

“Right… well, you know how you can talk to people on the phone, right?”
