[punkrawket]

my grandma...

my mom tried to get her online with email and all... she won't even turn on the computer... she calls and my mom will be like i emailed you.. and she'll just be like oh... well it's not on

There's this really hot redhead at work who doesn't have a computer. *sigh* I'm hoping someday I'll find a hot chick who's a geek like me.

My answer came true a week ago, I met this girl at school that loves computers and she is hot.

the elderly... my grandmother wont even come close to a computer

 

[Scootin159]

Still surprises me the # of people at this school who don't have a computer.

 

[Electrode]

The vast majority of people I know don't own computers, the the few who do all use AOL, and I don't think that counts.

 

[goog]

My mom and brother.
Plus a few others.

 

[trmiv]

My grandma, and one of my brothers. That's about it.

 

[NewCompGeek]

my parents and crazy grandma

 

[DanFungus]

older people.

my grandmother is an information freak - she reads the paper from front to back - and has like 30 old papers to prove it (when she gets behind). My dad and I are convinced she would love the internet..she's afraid of becomin addicted (too late for me, hehe)

 

[TallBill]

just a few.. not many tho

 

[eplebnista]

A few here also-mostly relatives though.

[Juniper]

My grandmas and my mom.

 

[urameatball]

nope... my whole social life was derived from internet friends.
I don't have real friends

j/k

 

[Logix]

My grandmothers and one of my uncles. They're all elderly (70+).

They've gotten by 3/4 of a century without using a computer, so why the hell would they need one now?

 

[Mitzi]

I know lots of people who don't use the internet - people of all ages from my grandparents, parents and even two of my sisters have never touched the internet. A couple of my friends have also never used the net. I think its gonna be a couple of years yet before its even a small part of some peoples lives.

 

[Tarfin]

I've tried for several years to get my Mom to use the internet, including giving her a computer. She just doesn't seem to have the interest though.

 

[joohang]

I know a few who don't, but I know exactly how I feel without Internet. Or even without high-speed connection, actually. I had to use DIAL-UP for 2 weeks and I felt like I lost an arm.

I'm happy again with my ADSL now.

 

[Haircut]

My Dad has absolutely no idea when it comes to computers. He was amazed when, the other day he found out that 'movies can come on CD' (DVD!) nowadays.

 

[JonnyDuke]

My Grandparents and at least one friend of mine-

Though if you met my grandparents you would understand why they don't even own a computer. Very simple lives, not that they wouldn't if they
needed to use one but they just don't need one. As for my friend... well that is just one I don't understand. He has an older computer but he gave it to
his girlfriend for her kids to use but doesn't touch it himself.

My In-laws, now if only their Packerd Bell running Windows 3.1 could connect to the internet, that would be a interesting ride.

 

[Kadarin]

My dad.. who is 72, and wants no part of it, at least for now. My mom is starting to get the hang of it, and just sent me her first email yesterday. I gave her my old iMac just so she could do this.. "How do I turn it on?"

Hmm...

 

[MomAndSkoorbaby]

My grandparents use the internet regularly. Just for the record.

I actually have many friend who do not. NOR do they watch the news. I think it is so stupid to be so incredibly ignorant in this world today.
