It's ideal for them, as they can order pretty much whatever they want and have it shipped to their houses without having to go out shopping. It's also fantastic for the market because it gives digital marketing companies a new subsection of society to aim at.

And I am impressed about her skills with PC and internet. She sends forth and back various powerpoint slides with office jokes between friends that are about her age, users scanner, internet extensively. It was not always the case, though. Her approach of learning PC was taking notes on how to do simple tasks. She had notes how to print something, how to copy a file and so on. After a while she learned about internet banking and she was really happy with it (although I know people that do not trust internet banking as well). The more she did, the less notes she needed. Now I am asked for help when something is really wrong with PC only. I know a lot of elderly people in various stages of this learning process. Some will never touch a PC. SomeHowever, there are less and less such people. Some started to use PC with notes and send emails to their relatives abroad. Internet allows reaching people cheaper and more conveniently. And that is quite important to elderly here. My mom is 68. And I am impressed about her skills with PC and internet.

Sometimes we get too serious about things like generation gaps and tech know-how. A hundred years ago most people could see no reason to have a telephone. I wonder about the humor that came from that era. A few years ago, I set up an email discussion group for an organization. I knew most of the over 65 people didn't have computers (I was amazed to find out how many did have computers). One evening I made a joking comment to a guy that he should get one. I'll never forget his reply. "I don't believe in computers." I jokingly told him it wasn't a religion or a movement. As far as I know, he still has no computer, and never will. Thanks for an excellent post. This was fun to read. Sometimes we get too serious about things like generation gaps and tech know-how.
