I'll start with explaining how I breakdown computer people. There are three types of people when it comes to the computer. There are users, programmers, and developers. The user is like a person that can drive the car from point A to B. In other words they can open a program and get it to do the things they want it to do under normal situations. Most users spend most of their time on the internet and using a couple of programs. The programmers are the ones that know how the programs work and thus know how most aspects of the computer work. They can help the user get out of most situations that they find themselves in by accident. Typically, the user says "I didn't do anything. It just broke." The programmer knows this is a lie, but still fixes the problem. The programmer is like a car mechanic. The third and most powerful computer person is the developer. The developer has probably studied computers extensively in school and fully understands every aspect of the computer. They probably can program in multiple languages and also can build a computer from the ground up. They laugh at the programmers and don't waste time on the users. They are like the car manufacturers. I consider myself a programmer. SuperMom and the subjects are users at best. So that has caused several interesting conversations in our family.
Once out of the blue SuperMom asked "Where is the internet?". I replied "The router is in the office". That wasn't what she was asking. "No, where is the internet located?" I asked, "What do you mean?". "Is the internet at NASA?", was what she countered. I am now confused and this is where the bilingual issue arises. See, I speak logic and so does DP. SuperMom speaks nonsense with some logic added in. Most of her logic is the powerful Mom Logic. She can say "hello", "good bye" and "what is your name" in logic, but she can't completely function in her second language (Logic). Lu and Jr only speak nonsense although we are trying to teach them logic. I try to talk to them in my native language, but they prefer SuperMom's native language better. Now back to the internet discussion. I say, "NASA? Why in the world would you think it is at NASA?". "Well, the internet is cyberspace and NASA deals with outer space.", is the answer she gave me in the language of Nonsense. I realized at that point I need to study this language of Nonsense a little more if I am going to answer that question properly. See, I just started laughing like when you meant to say "Thank you very much" in French, but instead said "Thank You nice ass" and your french friend just shakes his head. Never a dull moment trying to bridge the language barrier at our house.
