..or the internet , generally ?
The other day when I was in the surgery waiting room, I sparked up a convo with 2 women who were waiting to see their respective Doctors...both were in their early 70's..so about 5 or 6 years older than me..
One was bemoaning the fact that she had trouble getting a blood test and had to jump through hoops with forms.. as she waved one around.., and I told her that I always book mine online.. She said that she didn't have a computer and wouldn't know how to use it anyway.. and with that, the second lady agreed, that she was the same ...
Now these were not doddering old biddies.. they were on the ball women it seemed to me.. so I was very surprised to realise that out of the 3 of us there.. 2/3rds didn't know how to use a Computer..
Do you know anyone who doesn't use one after all these years since we've commonly had home computers , who is perfectly capable of learning..?
