I think it's very narrow minded to think that someone 76 or older could not be into technology. I know if i make it to 76 i will still be into technology

but old people didn't grow up with technology. since you did, you will still be using it when u are old.
Old people could have grown up with technology, just not with computers. And as computers are part of the technology as a whole, I have no problem with them keeping up with computer technology.
Also; 21.
I live in Canada, the drinking age here is 19.... 21 is not as big of a deal. I am actually going to go out and party next weekend because I had to take care of my uncles kids last night
Thanks from a 57 year old female!
Actually, I'm the one who introduced my adult children to technology (computers, texting, smartphones, etc.) I bought the ipad on the first day and had to convince them that they should get one, now they love it!
Of course they have surpassed me now in knowledge, but we fully enjoy having tech conversations-- and sometimes I still tell them about something new and cutting-edge!
So you think Technology was invented yesterday. I did a Technology degree in the 60's and have worked on Technology all my life. Have you heard of a little company called DEC that had PDP's 8 in the 60's and the PDP 11 in the 70's have you heard of Prime, Honeywell, Wang and IBM with main frame and mid Range computers. Have you heard of a programming language called Cobol its been around for 50 years.
When you work in Technology all your life its very easy to keep up with developments. My first cell phone was the Motorola Brick if you know what that is, you carried it in your briefcase not in your pocket.
25 with 783 trips to McDonalds under my belt for me

If I could count the number of times I've been to McD's growing up I'd post that too. It would probably scare me. Plus now it's adding since I have a kid. I wish that place would go under.
