How many of us "older" folks have embraced "Web 2.0" social media like
Facebook and LinkedIn? Frankly I have no interest in either, but I have
friends and acquaintances my age (61) (including my dentist) who send me
invitations. Has anyone here found these to be worthwhile and beneficial?

Fun story, Peter. I know people less than half your friend's age who are
still to scared to embrace modern (computer) technology fully, even
though in their youth they were anything but Luddite.

Subject: [Phono-L] definition of "antique" - was Re: Shipping phonographs
Yesterday my 14 year old and I went to install some RAM in the computer of a
friend. We also helped our friend with her iPod.
As we left, I told my daughter that she would be lucky if she, too, could be as
"with it" when she got to the age of our friend: 92. She replied that she'd
always stay up on the latest ipods and other technology...but paused to reflect when I
mentioned that by that time, an iPhone would look to youngsters the same way an Edison
cylinder phono looks to her today.
"Antique" is a moving target. Most kids today have no idea what an LP is - and
even cassettes as well - and when they see one consider it to be an antique.
