As someone "in their 50's", it seems to me that by some coincidence, most of your
friends must have parents that are retarded! Most of the people I know in their
50's own and know how to use computers. Many of my blue collar patients (you know
the guys who go hunting and fishing or work on their trucks <G>) are always
telling me about stuff they did on their computer.
Almost all of the white collar workers not only own computers but use them at work
every day. Most of the kids I know in their teens can only copy cassettes because
they have dual decks and all they have to do is push one button. They could never
copy a CD to an MD having to use two separate units.
Getting back the people in their 50's, unless they are not into music at all, I
don't know anyone who doesn't listen to CDs. Don't forget, when CDs came out,
these people were in their 30's and you were about 5 years old. We introduced the
CD to you! We were in our 30's when CDs came out.
The reason that kids in their 20's know a lot about computers is that their
parents (who were in their late 20's or mid thirties at the time) bought a
computer so their kids have been exposed to computers since they were born.
If any of these parents don't know how to use computers it's because you kids
never let us get near them. We usually have to buy a notebook computer which we
have to hide from you in order to get near a computer.
Maybe you should start looking for some new friends. If most of your friends
parents don't use computers and still listen to records, how smart could your
friends be? Although there are exceptions, stupid people tend to have stupid
kids. Something to do with genetics.
I'll bet your parents use computers and listen to CDs. If they aren't into MD,
that's your fault.
