Movie Downloads Are Not Just For Your Kids



The Easy Way To Download Classic Movies and New Movies Too!
Apple iTunes

Every 16 year old seems to know this, but many in the over 40 set do not know they can watch movies on their PC, and it is very simple. It seems to me that people of my generation would really appreciate this because we tend to think of classic movies (Do you remember The Legend of Hell House?) that we would just love to watch again. All it takes is a PC with an internet connection, and it is so simple I had it going in about 10 minutes.

Apple Itunes Movies

My top pick for movie downloads is Apple Itunes Software because it is so simple. And NO, you do not need an IPOD! Though of course, if you do have an Apple IPOD with video, you can also dowload movies to it for greater portability. You simply install the software that Apple supplies, and then you can search for the movies they carry in a digital format (or of course, music or TV shows), and then choose them.

Apple Itune Movies are cheaper than renting in a video store, and you do not have to leave your house or even look for the TV remote control! You simply pay for the movies you want to watch, and once you pay, you can watch as often as you want with your secure login. So you do not have to worry about late fees or return dates.

So just imagine yourself, sitting with your feed up in your favorite chair, with your notebook propped on your lap, searching through decades of classic movies and modern blockbusters. Download Movies To Your PC Now!

Why Do Teens Text Message So Much?

textmsg.jpg Teens may like to text message their parents because it is a way to perform essential communication while keeping some distance. And just like all generations come up with their own lingo, the weird language of text messaging can be hard for parents to decifer. Of course, it makes sense to shorten words because, face it, text messaging is a little harder than keyboarding because all we have are telephone keys.

Text Message Primer

If your teen’s cryptic text confuses you, then you fit right in to the baby boomer generation! I know my own teens would prefer to text me, but it usually takes me a long time to respond because I am slow. To teens, it probably seems like a way to communicate while keeping a distance. To me it seems slow and clumsy!

Here are some common abbreviations that people use in chat. This should help you move your clumsy middle aged fingers over those keys. So pull out your own cell phone and practice keying in these simple texting codes!
