...but i think its a fair general assumption that the older generations have a hard time understanding the concepts behind the newer technology...

Like the "older generations" that put a man on the Moon? Or the "older generations" that designed and manufactured the computer chips that power all this newfangled technology?

My father is 85 years old. He has had a PC for over 10 years, and is probably on line more than me these days. On his own, he figured out how to create a mailing list and print labels for their Christmas card list. My mother-in-law passed away last summer at at 89. About 15 years ago, we got her a WebTV unit for her home in Pennsylvania so she could keep up on news and e-mail her friends. A few years ago, she got a netbook and wireless router for the house, so she could sit on the back porch in the summer and surf the 'net.

oh and ps. my grandmother is 96 today. I just remembered since she is on Facebook.

Happy Birthday Grandma! My father sent me a "friend" request, but I was afraid he would tag me in old, embarrassing childhood photos...

This is too friggin funny and so timely and dont think I wasnt thinking about Dr. Sheldon Cooper, or his "type" when I read the initial post that got me "upset".
The opening scene has the character of Howard talking to his mom on the phone and getting quite upset because she doesnt know how to use a laptop. After he hangs up, Sheldon
comments "I dont want to say that all senior citizens who cant master technology should be publicly flogged but if we made an example of one or two it might give the others incentive
to try harder".
