i keep trying to get our 89 yr old neightbor to et a laptop, she keeps saying she could not learn…byt I totally disagree. She would be one who would be on it always and loving it.
pearlandpeach - Depends on the person, and how much time you have to train them. Some people in their 80’s do great with a computer, many others can only do some simple tasks.
A lot of it has to do with their attitude. Many of them figured they’ve lived this long without it, that they don’t see the need to learn something new.
i didn’t want to get a computer but my son talked me into it, and he set me up on one of those networking pages, and i am glad he did, i have gotten in touch with some of my relatives who i haven’t heard from in years
