This article provides some interesting perspective toward computers for beginners. There are some instructive points made about the Mac’s user friendly characteristics. The writer used the term “idiot proof” which I think might have been a little strong. I also liked the point about Seniors and the value of the computer and the Internet to them.


“As someone who grew up with a computer, Is hard for me to picture how I would get along without one. When I was a kid, we had a machine that was not nearly as powerful as the one I have now. It was a Tandy, and it was useless by modern standards. We could use it as a word processor, log on to bulletin boards, and crawl along on the Internet. That was it. It was good for text only, and it was only somewhat good at that.

I had no problem with teaching computer skills to seniors. When you are a senior, it makes a lot of sense to spend time on the Internet. It is a great way to keep in touch with people who you might not be able to otherwise see. Even for computer beginners, it doesn’t take that long to learn how to use email and the web.”
