It's not just change. It's evolution. Progression. They figured out how to set the clock on their microwave oven didn't they? They've learned how to use a keyless entry on their new electric vehicle haven't they? So what's the problem here?[/QUOTE
Yes indeed there are people who absolutely detest computers. I have a dear friend who will not have a computer of any type in her home. Her children wanted to buy her an iPad so she could keep up family ties with grandchildren and great grandchildren. She adamantly refused. If she ordered something it was by phone or by mail. I suspect her hatred for computers stemmed from the fact her husband was always on his computer when he was alive. It was a sore point with her for sure. She passed away last year. She was a loving and generous person but computers were a hard no for her and anything Ford made. LOL!

Most people never learned how to program a VCR. Many of them sat on the TV stand for years, flashing "12:00". Being an engineer, I loved mine.
