[VIDEO] 404: Technology Know-How Not Found

[The feed switches on to the sight of one (1) agitated lineface and her uncle, seemingly poring over Jack's COMP. Agatha looks a mite bit more irritated than usual, and Jack... looks like he's lost in concentration.]

...There is no shame in asking for help - ah, especially since the COMP already appears to be on. How did you even manage that, Uncle?

I... ... I don't know, actually. All I did was touch a few things over here... [Jack points, dejectedly, off to one side of the screen.]

... [Siiiigh.] I - Seriously?

[She shakes her head and then nods at the 'camera' as it were.]

... At any rate, er, hello network. I am Agatha Sheridan, this is my uncle Jack.

[Jack waves a bit, perhaps a little over-eagerly.] Uh... hi. This is kind of awkward.

Perhaps you have already met us. We have a request. Uncle has been here for several months already and still cannot operate the COMP properly. [She glances over to Jack, who looks back at her with a lopsided smile and a soft 'eheheh...'.] ... I'm not really much of a teacher, so if someone could explain how this thing works to him? I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

[Quietly, sounding more like a whining child than a grown man, Jack adds:]

This is so complicated, I don't see why they can't just give us cell phones...

I usually play around with new stuff because it makes it easier to learn it. Has he tried to just sit down and see what did what?

I don't doubt he has.

[Long-suffering sigh goes here. ... And yet it's partly out of concern, so.]

But somehow it just doesn't seem to be clicking...He figured out desktop computers, he's managed to text on the network, but somehow figuring this out completely is...not happening.

Wait, he figured out the text on the network but not basic use?

I would like to believe it is just him being silly again. He is like that a lot.

...even so. [No she isn't worried about her uncle! Really!]

That seems kind of backwards...

... I believe Uncle may simply have forgotten due to not using the strange new device all that often. That is how it works, yes?

Well, whatever works best, I suppose.
