I would like to tell you a little story if I may.
When I was remarried eight years ago, we bought a townhouse in a golfing estate. I hate golf, but my hubby would meet his friends and they would have a terrific time. I used to do Latin-American dancing, but my hubby hates dancing. So, I thought that I was not going to vegetate: did yoga, meditation, solo cards, and make-up course, and then decided to buy myself a computer. To accompany this splurge, I bought 'Computers for Dummies'. This Dummy couldn't make head-nor-tail out of it. So I invested in a book called Visual Computer Lessons. Now I at least could switch on the darned thing without the trepidation that an almighty blast was going to fill the room.
Eventually managed to get online, and I am still learning. I wasn't going to ask my new hubby to teach me (Here be Dragons) as I was not yet at the stage where I could let him know what a Dummy he had married.
No one that I know in my age group uses computers. I think that's a shame.
I have family dispersed all around the world, and I can speak to them on Skype, or send emails.
There is a fear that people will think that you are a Dummy if you are not a quick learner. Reassure them.
Just my two cents worth.
I am seventy-four.
Cheers
