The really old sorts I know are quite handy with this stuff. Apart from the inlaws but that's due to too much inbreeding. Northamptonshire is the British Catskills, most people up there are their own grandchildren.

My dad is 68 and totally blind, but completely up to date with technology. He was a programmer with the gas board in the 70s though, so has a background in computers.
My mum (63) finds technology of any sort utterly confusing. She's been using computers for about 10 years now and I still have to write step by step lists with drawings of the space bar and such like.Qdos Contractor - IR35 expertsComment

As for Facebook and Twitter - they seem to be for the self-obsessed wannabe celebs to me. I have a Facebook account because a former mate of mine was super evangelistic about it and still insists it's the most marvelous thing ever. He posted recently that he was constructing a bathroom cabinet and would issue hourly updates on Twitter (and he was serious) FFS!
More disturbingly, one of my two other friends on facebook is always posting about what she and her two young daughters are up to - including recently announcing she's off to New York. I, in common with many people who know her know where she lives - I hope she's sure she can trust all these people and anyone/everyone they know too.
I still haven't worked out what Facebook is actually for.
I love technology that has either beauty utility or both - Facebook has neither.Comment

My mum got her first computer a couple of years ago and loves it. She's keen to learn so I encourage her by telling her about all the great things she can do that make her life easier. She's improving fast.
My dad is next. He's just bought a laptop
