Many 70, 80 and 90 year olds aren’t intimidated by technology.–PC Pitstop<\/i><\/font>.<\/i><\/font><\/p>\n By Leo Notenboom<\/p>\n You\u2019re never too old<\/p>\n Hi everyone, I\u2019m Leo Notenboom for askleo.com.<\/p>\n You know, one of the things I love about what I do and the technology I get to play with every day is that it opens so many doorways and presents us all with so many opportunities to take advantage of \u2026 if we are willing to take advantage of it.<\/p>\n That\u2019s where a thread that came through in the last survey kind of bugged me just a little bit. People were using the phrase, \u201cI\u2019m old\u201d as kind of an excuse for not getting something or not feeling like they were ready to do something.<\/p>\n And I personally, I find that kind of sad. Not everybody was doing it. A lot of people were just saying, well, \u201cI\u2019m old\u201d, which is awesome, and they were able to accomplish a lot of things which was actually, like I said, pretty awesome but I [also] kept seeing it as kind of an excuse, like I said, and it doesn\u2019t have to be that way.<\/p>\n The issue with technology from my perspective is that it is something that presents us with tremendous opportunity if we are willing to take advantage of it. It doesn\u2019t really matter how old you are. Age, the number of years on a calendar, heck, seriously it doesn\u2019t matter.<\/p>\n I regularly hear from folks in their 70\u2019s, 80\u2019s and 90\u2019s and honestly, I\u2019m waiting to hear from that hundred-year-old, I really am \u2013 who are having a great time with technology, who are using it to do things that their children or their grandchildren just never imagine and certainly that folks of their age just can\u2019t quite comprehend. That they\u2019re just doing all of these fun things: connecting with people, sharing with people, communicating with people.<\/p>\n Because in a lot of ways, that\u2019s what a lot of the internet and technology is all about. It\u2019s about connecting with other people.<\/p>\nNever Too Old for Technology<\/h4>\n
