Once upon a time the children were listening to fairy tales told by their grandmothers. Today, in the age of television and the Internet, the grandmothers are replaced by DVDs and computer games. Our story shows that, despite the widespread access to the wonders of technology, the stories told by the grandmas will always accompany the children. And our grandmother tells the story about Cinderella ...
… we all know. There is the evil stepmother, the malicious and self-centred sisters, but also the good and modest girl called Cinderella. The story also features the good fairy who enables Cinderella to fulfil her dream about the ball. Everything seems to resemble the fairy tale from an old book. But is it all? Well, no, dear children. Our Grandmother had to adapt to the requirements of her grandchildren – she knows how to use a computer. But she uses it wisely and prudently, teaching us how we ourselves should use it. The Grandmother has nice helpers – Little Viruses that sing to the children, telling them what is bad and what is good. Together with the Grandma they warn against the dangers which await young people who use what modern technology brings without moderation and control. But as it happens in fairy tales, everything ends well and it turns out that fairy tales are timeless and can be combined with a bit of the modern.
