I'm 41 but we didn't have computers in schools and e-mail wasn't even heard of at that point. I've taught myself everything I know on the computer and I'm always learning new things.

I also wonder if it has something to do with the impersonalization of our society recently. I have a co-worker, who I depend upon for a certain part of my job, who is in her early 60s who refuses to learn anything on the computer. She finally checks her e-mail once a day - that was a HUGE step for her. She feels it's too impersonal. She'd rather pick up the phone and talk to someone instead of e-mailing them (despite the fact that phone calls will take 7 times longer because we deal with teachers - they can't answer their phone so they have to call back and then we have to call them back and so one). She has a real mindset against computers - much to my frustration.
