My name is Chrishaun Keller, please call me Sique (pronounced 'cee-kay'). I am a digital literacies and literature researcher at Texas State University. I also happen to be the daughter and daughter in-law of computer literate parents and the mother of digitally literate daughters.
Over the last few years, I started to notice something. My MoM and my InLaws (who are made of awesome) started asking more and more questions about technology. This I found strange since they were both highly computer literate: they had one of the first Macintosh computers in Texas, they are programmers and both know a computer inside and out. They usually need walkthroughs on Twitter, creating ringtones and hunting proxies.
My daughters, on the other hand, can make the Internet bend to its will. They can find the proxies, can create the sigs, build the templates and load it on YouTube. But they can't seem to keep from loading a dozen viruses on the computer or fix simple things like the a frozen screen.
