Teach Parents Tech Gives You the Tools to Help You Teach Others Tech Tips

Okay admit it readers, if you are one of the thousands of followers of Beck’s Cafe’s Frugal Tech column, you have, at one time or another (or at 100x or another) been asked by your less tech savvy friends/family/lovers/children:

How do I stop getting these %^#%$ newsletters I signed up for

Can you pretty please resize the 300 photos I took of my trip so I can post them on Twitter?

How do you change your wallpaper again?

I’m sure we could listen hundreds of such questions, all sincere, and, in aggregate, they drive us crazy.

Well the Frugal Tech has a wondrously easy (and as usual cheap) answer!  Teach Parents Tech.   The site originally started when a Product Marketing Manager at Google found that his colleagues and he kept getting the same, general questions from their parents on how to do simple tasks with their computers and the internet.  But, simple to those of us who use the internet may not be simple to others so the site, Teach Parents Tech, was born.

How does it work?  Click to the site, Teach Parents Tech, then, choose an answer to such questions from the simple, (how to copy and paster) to the more challenging (share videos).   Then, fill out a form, and send the tip along.  Google’s privacy policy keeps everyone relatively safe.

Simple, cheap and effective, just what the Frugal Tech likes and likes to find and share with you.   Now, how do I set up a blog again?
