Even my first year of college, there were not that many students in my dorm who had computers. Everyone would use mine to play tetris. And it was that same old IBM PC!

Even though she has her own computer, my mom has not taken to it very well. She calls me when someone emails her a picture and asks me "how can I get it to come in?" When I showed her my ereader at Christmas, she was excited to see the big fonts, but I really don't think that she would be able to load books on it. If I were there, I could do it for her.

But back to the OP. I don't think I know anyone under the age of 60 who has never used the internet.
