My friend's dad is a technophobe? - Javadakins - 04-08-2014 09:22 PM
My friend says his Dad is whacko when it comes to the internet and tech.
Apparently his Dad thinks anything that's online will give you a virus. YouTube? VIRUS! Steam? VIRUS? Bing Search? VIRUS! Firefox? VIRUS! Xbox Live? VIRUS! eBay? VIRUS! You get the idea.
He only approves of Yahoo, MSN and Google search. Also, he doesnt approve games that are online, only ones that come on a disc. But the problem is, gaming is evolving and will eventually be online only. These days you have to activate a game online through Steam or EA or something.
I've tried telling him that his dad is crazy and he should tell him he's wrong, but nothing's changing.
What should be done?

His dad is wrong, but the filter bubble is coming.
