[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't believe I'm even joining this conversation, but my 80 year old mother is HOPELESS with technology. She can't open PDFs. She can't operate a gas pump credit card machine. She mails all her bills in by hand, and when she travels I have to do it for her. Thankfully "turn it off and back on again" fixes her problems 80% of the time.[/quote] How is this possible? Computers have been commonplace for 40 years now.[/quote] To add onto what others have stated, for much of that time, computer literacy has also been correlated with socioeconomic factors. Not all jobs need computers, and there's less incentive to learn and invest in a computer when those around you do not use them either. Not sure what the deal is with pp's mom specifically, but she's certainly not the only one.[/quote]
