Pope: I don’t know how to use a computer
VATICAN CITY – Pope Francis has made a confession of sorts, telling a 16-year-old girl that he doesn’t have a clue about how to work a computer.
The 78-year-old Francis made the confession Thursday during a Google Hangout. Francis responded to them from a Vatican audience hall during a conference, which seeks to bring young people together via sports, art and technology.
The children involved showed Francis how they make use of technology, including braille keypads, tablets and video cameras.
One girl asked Francis if he liked taking photos with his computer.
Francis replied: “Do you want me to tell you the truth? I’m a disaster with machines. I don’t know how to work a computer. What a shame!”
