Another satisfied customer, a woman in her late 70s living in Hawaii. Yesterday we did a marathon four-hour session, where I cleared up a number of issues. Early in the session I taught her how to change her wallpaper from a pretty picture to a solid color, because vision problems make it hard for her to read the icons when there’s a complex picture behind them. I used the expression, “Teach a person to fish...” She used her new skill to change the wallpaper color a couple of times while finding one that provided good contrast for her eyesight.
She had pictures stored in a variety of places, most notably Google Drive and OneDrive. I taught her how to find the pictures, how to rename them, and how to organize them in folders other than the defaults. Again we said to each other, “Teach a person to fish...”
A few hours later she sent me this text message:
“Aloha Bob,
Thank you so much for my first fishing lesson!
You allowed me to gain a mountain of computer confidence. I now understand a few ways to attach the bait, cast my line, and patiently haul in my catch or throw it back...... depending on the result.
You are an excellent instructor! (And after working in higher education for my entire career, I know what makes one)
From across the Big Blue,
Mahalo”
