- mcherm 14y ago15 years ago, when computers were less ubiquitous than today, I worked with near-retirement-age users (many 55 or 60 yrs old) who had NEVER used a computer (I had to start by teaching how to move a mouse). And they were perfectly trainable as long as you didn't start with an attitude that they were dumb for not already knowing this stuff.
- crististm 14y agoMy father's pleasure is to spend half an hour a day on Windows Solitaire. He moves the cards faster than I can see what the cards are... It took him probably a week to accommodate with the mouse and now he is faster than anyone I know. My guess is that if he knew a little bit of English he would have entered "that Internet of yours" with no difficulties. He is technical literate mind you - he build in the early 90s a Spectrum clone. On the other hand I see plenty of 25+ people that don't care too much to change their status quo. I might as well be one of them and pretend I'm not.
