Just had a family reunion yesterday...I'd say half the people over the age of 55 lack an intuitive sense of computing.
My MIL didn't understand that the interface represented a physical top of a desk. My mom double clicks on web links. My uncle does all his contractor company accounting with a pencil, in a ledger book.
That is a huge market for the iPad.
The desktop was a wonderful metaphor with its files and folders, for what it was replacing. But its time is coming to an end and the iPad is riding and creating that wave.
After the iPad 3G drops below $300, it will do more to bring that demographic online than any other device to date.
