Grandpa, I’ve got a present

Today, on my way back to the city I have lived since I started college, I had one of the most intriguing discussions ever with my grandfather who strongly believes that he needs a cell phone right away. Maybe you don’t think it’s outrageous, funny or, just like I said, intriguing, but when an 84 years old fellow comes to you and says “Hey kid, I want a thing like yours and I want it right now!”, it kind of makes you wanna laugh a little bit.


And I’m sure it won’t be long until he comes to me pretending he needs a computer of his own, also. Actually, he did say once he’d like to learn how to use the computer because he wanted to know if he won the lottery.

So this is why I’m happy now to see that someone came up with a computer especially designed for old people. And it is called the Go Computer. It is quite simple and, what’s more important than anything else, it is “easy-on-the-eye”, as the manufacturer presented it.



Being the result of efforts made during a decade of research, the Go Computer comes with a large typeface keyboard which has coded keys in different colors, comes also with a trackball which is easy-rolling, or a zoom that is able to magnify up to 200 percent.

Old people should be very happy to know that the Go Computer doesn’t require advanced knowledge, so it can be set up in no more than five minutes. Not to mention that they won’t be able to break the computer, to crash it, nor to confuse it, as it comes with protection against viruses and spam. All they have to do is to just go to the Go Computer website and grab one for $799.
