Technology for the old?



http://www.ariadne.ac.uk/issue23/cartoon/Image1.jpg

This cartoon bascially shows an old lady who doesn't know how to us a computer. I find this cartoon pretty interesting as I feel that it is relevant to the world today.

I learnt how to use a computer way back when I was about 6 years old from my father. At that time it was just playing computer games. And over the years, I am able to learn the basic stuff like surfing the internet, installing programs, etc, on the computer. And this is largely due to exposure to the computer for a long time. Some of these stuff are also learnt from my father and friends. This is just for me and I assume that every other teenager learnt how to operate a computer the same way as I did.

But as for the old folks, most of them are not exposed to the modern technology, so naturally they would not know as much IT stuff as the youth unless they use and learn. From here, we can tell that the use of different technology varies with age. For example, we see more youths listening to mp3 then the middle-age and old folks. This is largely due to trends and thought of the different generation. The youths may think that it is 'in' to listen to music players, whereas the older generations don't really care.

In this modern world, new technologies come about every year. So I feel that even if we don't use them, it is good to at least know about them and keep updated as they are after all things that exist in our world.
