    The computer games, yes I agree to an extent, but knowing how to use a computer?

    Dude, seriously...

    How do you think such people earn a living - use an abacus?

    I think you have to go 60+ to find a large percentage of people who arent computer literate. Even then in certain cultures/countries the majority will still be more than competent.

    Eg: my grandmother is writing her life story and emailing bits out to all her mates - and she is 83.

    And, yes, I am under 35.

    Looks like it's a majority of youth here. I expected a lot more people in their 20s.

    You're right, I exaggerated a bit. But when I say "using computer", I refer to search and download a program, installing it, to post on forums, to solve some basic problems, to turn off firewalls, etc...

    Yeah you're right some of them only need to know how to use Word and write and e-mail, but really they don't know how to use a computer.

    Anyway forgive me for the misunderstanding.
