How to transfer naked baby photos to your mom’s computer
December 21, 2010
This post is part of the
“Teach Your Parents Tech” series
where Googlers help provide some tips and tricks you can gift your parents with this Holiday Season.
Sharing photos, documents, video and other files with my family is something I frequently do around the holidays. In particular, I find myself sharing photos of my recent adventures and happenings with my parents.
My Dad is a big photography buff and tech geek (Love you, Dad :) ). Growing up, he always had a nice camera draped around his neck and recently he digitized (scanned) our thousands of family photos and put them onto the home computer. So, we have a stockpile of photos of my basketball games, my sister’s horse shows, naked baby bubble baths, easter egg hunts, trips to the beach, etc.
My Mom is not a tech geek. Recently she told me that she has heard of copy and paste, but doesn’t know how to use it. I recently taught her how to text message and my sister taught her how to book airfare online. However, my mom loves to look at family photos. The easiest way I’ve found to trasnfer photos onto my mom’s computer is by using a USB stick. I hope with the following video, I’ll be able to teach my mom how to transfer photos at any time:
