My mother-in-law is 77. We, my wife and I, talk to her a lot on the computer w/computer cam. Not only that, but since my father-in-law died in June of '06, she has traveled from Missouri to California, Oregon, Ohio, Virginia (4 times), Wisconsin, New Hampshire,Israel, Mexico (just came back from 2 weeks in Guadalajara), Canada and shoots great pictures with her digital camera and sends them to us even when she's on the road, using her lap top. Next summer she's taking my wife on an Alaskan cruise.

I can answer you with the fact that my mother is 83 years old and yes she is old fashioned and will remain that way. And when my brother sent her a puter to use, she could not and sent it back even though I tried to teach her some on how to use it. She will never change and that is just a fact. Older people who run into problems they do not know how to handle tend to run from them except in facing the problem. So expect older people to run away. It will stay that way.

LOL!!!! Some of us are. I have a computer (obviously) but I will not own a cell phone, IPod, or an IPhone. There's no sense in spending all that money on tiny gadgets that are going to be obsolete in a few years anyway.
First it was mobile phones/ car phones. Then it was cell phones. Then cell phones that you could take pictures with and so on and so on. Catch my point?

I know plenty of elderly people who are into computers and internet.
Those who resist either feel they don't need it, or they're afraid they won't be able to get the hang of it. It's cool when you can show them how much they can do and how fun it is, and then they go "Whoooooaaaaa!"
