Have you by chance read what Ann Widdecombe has said recently to GB news.
The former MP said... Quote....'Firstly I think you should stop lumping all old people together. There's enormous difference between someone in their 60s, who almost certainly comes from the age of computers and someone in their 90s, who struggles a bit and whose brain doesn't work as fast as it used to and is afraid of new technology. There's an enormous difference. I'm sick of hearing the word pensioners as if we're all the last stages of an illness.
Secondly is that, very sophisticated stuff you wouldn't expect them to do, like on line Banking is fairly simple to do and can be mastered by most people and most people have access to the younger generation, who can show them what to do if they can't. I say Just get on with it!'
End of quote...
Then last evening I had a text from my DD thanking me for their Easter card and a 'ha ha ha,' for my explanation of down loading an app. to know the time in Chandigarh India. where my grand daughter is. I had sent her instructions of how to find one because she said she couldn't... in stages..eg, ... On yr phone, Search for the World Clock, tap and open, then scroll through options, then chose the option Asia, tap and open, then chose the town nearest to ... etc then blah blah.. I did reply by saying I might be 81, but you forgot I taught computers when I was teaching and had given her step by step instructions assuming she knew nothing!! Ha ha. and also Dh's job was IT.. I use my computer for everything.. and nothing phases me! Criky I know younger people who can't blog, are afraid of emailing and think their phones are annoying when their phone won't do something. I've said, its you, not the phone!
What do you think if you're an older person?
I do admire Ann Widdecombe but her books/novels, are awful in my opinion!
