It's all individual. At my parent's house it would all have depended upon who answered the phone when the survey was taken. My mother (69) has a cellphone, laptop, mp3 player, ebook reader, and a DS. My father (70) only has the laptop. And most days we are tempted to replace it with one of those cardboard replicas from the furniture store.

I'm a Younger Boomer according to these guidelines, and I have everything on the list except a tablet. My 90 year old mother has an iPod and a Sony Reader, though.

My wife, just turning 60, will have a new Kindle effective Valentine's Day, even though she thinks she doesn't want one. But I've bought her a White K3, baited it with some Willa Cather, and I do believe that when we go to Florida in a couple of weeks, she will see the lightness. But the key to her acceptance of the Kindle will be that she already knows how to use Amazon, and with Whispernet, it's a piece of cake to get the books onto the device. She and I are at the opposite ends of the adoption curve when it comes to technology. I adopt early, and a few years later, she comes around. Another thing that becomes clear as one ages is that we all think we live in the same world, but we don't. The world of the old is a lot larger than the world of the young, and the time to live in that world gets shorter and shorter. So you have decide what you will do and learn, and what you won't, and how much time you'll spend on things that are nice, but not necessary. |
