I consider myself to be fairly technologically savvy, but I just found out that I needed help from my seven-year-old granddaughter to get SpongeBob Squarepants up and going. Yep, I was able to get the DVD in the machine. The first challenge was to get the TV off satellite and onto the DVD player. OK. Success in one try. Yay!
Then the silly thing just kept playing the intro. What’s with this?
“Push ‘Okay’,” my granddaughter told me.
“I don’t have that button on here,” I said.
She took it from me and started punching buttons. Nothing happened. “I think you need a different one,” she said.
I started digging through the drawer in search of a different remote. “Oh, here’s one,” she said. It was on top of the player.
Pretty soon she navigated the menus and selected the episode to watch.
Silly me, I thought you just popped it and it played. Might have known it would be interactive. I’ll get by okay as long as my grandkids are here to help me.
