I have came to find out that the younger or older a person is from the age of 20, they are more likely to not know how their own computer (laptop, PC, Mac, W/E) even works. This is quite a far-cry to years ago were only older people, above 20, knew how to fully utalize a computer. I think this change in "computer Maturity" is caused by the media and influnces of peers to use, learn, and take control of the computer to interent gain and use (such as facebook, Myspace, Twitter, and google). I have also came to find out that the old the person, combined with the less "computer maturity", tends to type in extreme broken english with bad grammar, which leads to an ironic state since they know real english and real grammar.
What do you think LG?

Also I noticed that people who loose at games and get angery are ALWAYS under the age of 14, Which brings up another point, Why the fuck are you playing halo (or CoD..W/e) when you are not even old enough to play it LEGALY. Why do parents let this happen? Is it lazyness? Carelessness (sp?) or could it just be american idiotism?
My parents dont care if I play. They say as long as it doesnt influence me they dont give a fuck. And I dont know from your first sentence if you said kids or adults dont know how to use there computer but my dad was the one who taught me DOS and shit
It's very simple to learn how to use a computer, and it's software/programs.. All you have to do is research, read a little of this and that. Computers also have their advantages, and can be used for anything.
<--- *points at age* I still get pissed off when I lose at a game.. ...and yet I still know trk a computer... But I grew up using Windows XP so if your threw Vista or a Mac operating system at me.. I'd have some difficulty adjusting..
I think its definitely a legitimate point... My dad is 57, and hes a computer engineer. Yet somehow, I know my way around basically everything on my computer and his better than he does.
I find it funny there are still alot of people my age and younger who don't understand simple things like the difference between RAM and Harddrive space. :/ But it annoys me the most when older people don't understand. I think it's harder because a lot of the "older" people don't want to listen, or acknowledge you know what you're talking about.
My dad still thinks that if he goes anywhere other than his few, main websites he will probably get a virus. He doesnt trust any links I send him.
Hes a computer engineer.
I guess it depends on the person. My mom is clueless because she didn't have anything like this growing up. My dad couldn't before, but he is "learning".
Ironically, my mother who grew up in rural russian village in alaska, where they has no computers..knows how to use email, about flash games, and she has a droid with data... The fuck?
(she is also a lead teller at a bank...the fuck?)
Age doesn't matter, especially today. You're stereotyping. My grandmother is 89 and can use a computer better than my mother. I'm 20 and have more knowledge about technology in general than my sister who is 16. What matters is willingness to learn. If you take the time to get accustom to any thing via practice and research you can be better at it than your random jo.
