High Tech Taxi Aunty

I boarded a taxi home tonight and came across this lady taxi driver who semi-shocked and impressed me throughout the 10 min journey. What amazed me was this interesting attribute about her - for the age of about 50s, she was really informed about IT stuff! It was astonishing!

My jaw just dropped when she started telling me about her hobby to scan and print colour photos! She shared with me about which brand of printer is good, how to choose a printer, how much does the printer cost and how expensive is that particular brand's printer ink! She even told me that she is considering going to the upcoming PC fair at Expo to buy this discounted 6-in-1 electronics gadget that can scan, fax, print, etc!

She went on to say that she got to know this person at Sim Lim Square when she went there to buy blank CD-Rs and even got his name card to look him up at the PC fair! Plus, she knows where to buy a $30+ 512MB thumbdrive too!

As if all these had not shocked me, hearing this coming from a 50 over year old lady... she even told me that she had took up a course to learn how to use Photoshop and Video making software! Stunning! I can't believe that she is this age... some women at this age don't even know how to use a PC or a video tape recorder! I am impressed!
