Commentary: The very funny Amy Schumer did a bit on her Comedy Central show last year about the challenges of helping her mom learn how to use the computer. I honestly dont think I can do this. Its too hard, she tells her therapist (played by the also very funny Kathy Najimy), who encourages her to confront the issue in order for her to move on with her life.
It resonated with me on a few levels. I, too, can identify with the slight frustration of talking to ones mom about technology (Gmail is not that hard?) but Ive also been on the receiving end of some not-so-subtle digs (and eye rolls) from my 14-year-old because Ive yet to master the art of picture collages on Instagram (Im sure all 20 of my followers are on the edge of their seats.)
