Reports by Consumers

This report on role reversal in this father-daughter relationship makes us wonder how consumer roles will shift, even with TiVo.

In the last 5-6 years the balance between us has shifted. At some point I became the ‘go-to-person’ for computer help or electronics advice. I got him hooked up with TIVO, advised on computer purchases, helped troubleshoot network problems and recommended backup devices. Today I set him up with his own web hosting package so he has a website and a new email address with his company name. It has been an interesting role reversal, and I find a great deal of personal satisfaction in being the problem solver.
