Teens teaching adults is fabulous

What a fabulous article on Page B1 in Sunday’s paper, “Teen techies tackle teaching.

That is the greatest thing that teens can do for those of us who never learned how to do tasks on our cell phones, but want to learn how. My gosh, I think that is sensational and thank you to the teens who take the time to show us “older folks” how to do some of these things that we could never teach ourselves at our age.

Keep up the good work. And to older folks who just can’t figure out how to do things on our cell phones, please let these teens help you.

It’s good for them and it’s great for us to learn! And many thanks to The Herald for printing this article in the Sunday paper.
