百岁波兰老妪玩转互联网

2010-11-09来源:和谐英语

当自己OUT的时候,还会以年龄为借口吗?现年102岁的波兰老妪一定让你大跌眼镜!她年过百岁,却能够非常熟练地使用网络,每天除了家务外,她都要上网聊天2小时,与自己的外孙、曾孙、玄孙保持联系。

She was born near the beginning of the last century, but is using the very latest communication technology.

Many senior citizens feel they've been left behind in an era of multi media information technology. But not this great great grandmother.

"I'm going to talk with the computer."

Wiktoria Wawszczak's favourite pastime is chatting to her family on Skype.

"The computer is a good thing because I can talk with my granddaughter and with everybody. I like it. They can call me and then I talk with them."

Wiktoria has just celebrated her 102nd birthday. She became attached to using Skype just after she turned 100, two years ago. Regina Jez is her granddaughter.

"I installed Skype for her so she could talk with her sister or my daughter, or with the middle sister, Sabina, at home. For her it's a joy."

Wiktoria still helps out with chores around the home, but there's no mistaking where she would rather be. Regina says her grandma enjoys her high-tech life.

"When she turns the programme on, she can sit there for at least two hours."

Wiktoria was born in 1908 in Czestochowa, southern Poland. She's lived through two world wars, had 3 sisters and two brothers. She was once married and had two sons. One of them died when he was 7 months old.

Today she has 5 grandchildren, 13 great-grandchildren and 8 great-great-grandchildren. And thanks to internet she can stay in touch with all of them.
