SALINA, Kan. (AP) — The Salina Library is offering help to all those people who have no idea how to use the electronic gadgets they got for Christmas.
The library offers a class called “I Got This Thing as a Gift, Now What Do I Do With It?” Even when the small, free classes aren’t available, Helen Gregg, technology center trainer, offers one-on-one help.
The Salina Journal reports that Gregg says younger people who give the gifts often aren’t very good teachers because they grew up with technology and don’t have the patience to teach someone who didn’t.
And she says her older students usually don’t give themselves enough credit for what they know, or how easily they can learn new information.
