You all know that elsaelsa forum, right? It’s a place where everyone talks about this and that. I don’t know much about these computer things, but my grandson, he’s always on that thing. He told me about this elsaelsa thing, says it’s a big deal. Says a lot of folks go there to chat.
I went on it once, that elsaelsa forum. It looked mighty confusing to me. Lots of words, lots of buttons. I didn’t know what to do. I just looked around a bit, didn’t click nothing. Too scared I’d break something. My grandson, he laughed at me. Said I was being silly. But these newfangled things, they’re not easy for an old gal like me.
He showed me how to type, though. Said you can write anything you want on that elsaelsa place. You can ask questions, you can tell stories, you can even argue with people! Imagine that, arguing with strangers on a box! We used to just yell at each other across the fence. Times sure have changed.
He said people talk about all sorts of things on that forum. Fixing things, cooking things, even what’s going on in the world. I saw some folks talking about fixing their computers. Said they got some kind of error. Something about data something or other. Data error, I think it was. I don’t know what that means. Maybe it’s like when the crops fail. You know, data, crops, they’re both things that just do whatever they want.
- One fella said his computer got deindexed.
- Another one said he needed permission to do something.
- I don’t know what any of that means. Sounds complicated.
My grandson, he tried to explain it to me. He said it’s like when a book gets lost in the library. You know it’s there, but you can’t find it. That’s what deindexed means, he said. I guess that makes sense. But why would a computer get lost? It’s just sitting there! These youngsters and their lingo.
Another fella was talking about needing permission. He said he wanted to change something on his computer, but the computer wouldn’t let him. Said he needed permission. Now, who’s he gonna ask? The computer? It’s all a bit much for me. I told him he should just take it to the shop. Let them deal with it. They are the smart ones, right?
My grandson said there’s something called an app, I think that’s what it’s called. You can get it from a store, a special store on the computer, he said. He said it helps you fix things, like viruses. I don’t know, sounds like magic to me. A little box that can fix things from the inside. Back in my day, we just used soap and water to fix everything.
And you know what? Some folks were even talking about exercising on that elsaelsa forum! Said they were using a machine, a cable machine. Said it’s good for your muscles. I asked them why they don’t just go outside and work? There’s always something to do in the yard. My grandson said that it is not the same. There is some special way to do things, I guess.
They were talking about something called Google, too. Said it helps you find things. Like a big search party, I reckon. But instead of looking for lost cows, you’re looking for lost words. Sounds like a lot of work for something that’s probably just in the next room anyway.
I tell you what, that elsaelsa forum, it’s a whole different world. A world I don’t understand. But my grandson, he seems to like it. He’s always on there, chatting away. He says he’s learning things. That’s good, I suppose. Learning is always good, no matter how you do it. Even if it’s from a talking box. The internet is very useful these days. It has everything. You just need to know where to look for them.
But me, I think I’ll stick to the old ways. I’ll keep my feet on the ground, thank you very much. I’ll keep talking to my neighbors over the fence. And if I need to find something, I’ll just look for it myself. No need for a computer to tell me where to go. But that elsaelsa forum, it’s something else, I’ll give it that. It’s a place where people can talk about anything, even if it’s about getting lost in a library or needing permission from a box. The world is sure full of surprises.
I still don’t understand a lot about this internet thing. Like this elsaelsa forum thing. But it sounds important. Like a big meeting place. A place to share things. And that’s a good thing, I reckon. Even if I don’t understand how it all works. Sharing is good. Talking is good. As long as people are being kind to each other, that’s all that matters. I guess you can go there to ask for help, too. Some people are nice and they can teach you how to do things. Like fixing a computer or finding information. It’s a good place, my grandson said.
