You betcha! If the individual desires to learn the new trick. Getting that older adult motivated is the first step. Teaching is easy.

Absolutely! Just find an area that is relevant to their interests. For instance, it can be easier to teach computer skills to an older adult by showing them how they can send and receive email to see photos of grandchildren or get in touch with old friends.

So, Lilly N., is this hope or frustration??
The question is too close the the "Old Dog, New Trick" thing.
I prefer, "Can an Old Hat Wear New Clothes"? But of Course!!

i would think so...
but it really depends on what you intend to teach..
it'll be much easier if it happens to be something that he/she has some prior knowledge or contact with.
or if there's interest, the learning process should be pretty quick :)
practice makes perfect!
the world is full of possibilities ^____^

The secret to teaching is to have the student desire to be taught. If you can do this you can teach ANYONE! Good luck!
