Give it a go, but keep it simple to start with, just progress at their own speed. Some people of all ages have no interest in being online - others are addicts. Age need be no barrier....lol

Yes, you are trying to do a good thing, but
remember that people that old don't pick up
on new things easily.
I tried the same thing with some older neighbors
and a spare computer that was just hanging
around. - They just couldn't seem to get it.

Yes. I am trying to persuade my mum to get a lap top (she is 70 something). When I said she could download porn she nearly fainted....but seriously, I think it opens up so many doors and opportunities for everyone.
