tech savvy?....really??

I was talking to an aunty the other day-
and as far as words can say, she's known to be quite the intellect.
shoot her with any questions and you know she'll have the answers ready at hand.
it suddenly struck me, "there must be something that this aunty doesn't know or unsure of". curiously, I started taking my thoughts and turned them into action.

I started experimenting.

I mustered up the courage and finally blurted out a question. Subtle, yet provocative.
"Aunty, would you consider yourself tech savvy? I mean, you own a computer right?"
Gallantly, my aunty replied with a face gleaming with confidence,
"Of course! What are you talking about, my dear? I skype my kids who are overseas all the time."
"Wow, skype! What other ways do you use to communicate or reach out to your friends and family overseas?" an astonished me asked.

This 65 year old woman then replied with a reply that exudes such confidence that suddenly came to an abrupt halt.
"My dear, I have everything the internet has to offer. You name it, I have it. Spacebook, Myface.." she chuckles with pride.

My mind suddenly boggled. I thought to myself "What on earth is this so-called tech savvy aunty rambling about? Spacebook? Myface?"

and suddenly it hit me.

Spacebook = Facebook
Myface= Myspace

Poor old lady, must've confused between the two.
she's not my aunty..gambar hanya hiasan...hehehe...
