| I'm a technology disaster, pope confesses |
VATICAN CITY: Pope Francis, who has called the internet a "gift from God," confessed via Webcam to an inquisitive girl on Thursday that he is a disaster with technology and does not know how to use a computer.
Alicia, from Spain, who took part in a worldwide Google Hangout for children with special needs, asked the pope if he liked to take pictures and download them on his computer.
"I am not able to use computers," the 78-year-old Argentine pope said, laughing. "What an embarrassment, right?"
"I have to tell you the truth. I am a disaster with machines," he said. Francis used the Spanish word "tronco", or tree trunk, which is colloquially used for someone who is very clumsy, or a disaster at something.
Last year Francis said in a message on communications that the internet was a "gift from God" that could help unite people but he also has warned families to shut off their smart phones and talk more to each other
