I didn't get a computer until I was in my first master's program! I begged and begged my parents to get me one for years, to no avail. I couldn't afford one myself until I was about halfway through my masters (I paid my own way through university, and I didn't want to take out any student loans, so I was perpetually broke, and computers were quite a bit more pricey back then). I did try to teach my mom how to use the internet, but as she doesn't have a computer she doesn't have any way to practice what I've taught her.
