I envy you young ones the computer knowledge. It is such a struggle for me. Of course, they didn't have TV until just before I graduated high school. It is a long way from a radio knob to a computer.

51 is not a prime number. A prime number is one that can only be divided by 1 and itself. 51 can be divided by 17 or by 3 as well. ( 17 x 3 = 51.) |
With a handle that gives the year I was born, I would say no.

I guess I automatically assume that older people can't be bothered to keep up with technology and I was pleasantly surprised to find how many people here are of that generation and just as capable as the rest, and with more experience on the subject at hand than I!

I got my first PC over 25+ years ago and have used one almost daily ever since. I introduced computers & the internet to my kids, who are now older than you are.

I would say PCs have been in most people's homes for 15 - 20 years now. Granted, my parents' generation (70s+) has more trouble with them than mine, but there are people of all ages that are savvy and others of all ages that use them without understanding them. What's funny is that I didn't get my first PC until I was 34. But I'd learned about them back in 1980, when you had to maintain your computer yourself and program any apps you wanted (except for games and word processing - and the first computer spreadsheet had just been invented). When I got mine in 1994, I knew you could buy more apps, but I had no idea most people no longer maintained their own systems, so I set out to learn to do my own upgrades and installs and troubleshooting. It changed my life, because I ended up working in IT (not doing maintenance, though). |
Why worry about your age? You have two choices: get older or die. I'm pretty much voting for the get older choice! :D
