You know what's funny - my Dad - who is in his 80's - DOES know how to use the internet. My Dad grew up without electricity or indoor plumbing. Now he is surfing the net & balancing his checkbook online.

They sure do. My dad is a retiree and he reads political blogs. My mum still works for the aviation industry and she's definitely computer- and internet-literate.

No, they don't...what a shame. I understand that is a different generation and they didn't have computers, but I had tried to tell my mom to get into a computer course...she refuse...so, I gave up. Funny thing, though when she wants some information, she calls for me to research it on line! lol
Good question...hi Gretel!

Oh dear, don't spread it out that my mother is an idiot because even the name/word "INTERNET" she doesn't know. But she knows how to count the days to receive her monthly pension hehehe.
