Ever go home for the holidays and find your parents asking you to help them with "techie tasks" like uploading photos to the Internet?

You're not alone. A bunch of folks over at Google find themselves in this situation nearly every time they visit their families around this time of year. That's why they've launched TeachParentsTech.org, a "tech support care package" that's meant to help kids teach parents about computer basics.

According to a Google blog post, the site allows users to select more than 50 basic how-to videos they could send to parents — or frankly, anyone else who might need a little tech help. The videos cover topics from copying and pasting to sharing large files. The recipient will receive a message from the sender, along with a link to the selected videos.

In addition, the first 10,000 to send one of these online packages will have the chance to send real tech support care packages via snail mail to a recipient of choice at no cost. At the time this post was written, nearly 2,000 parents had been "served."
