Well Margaret, I feel I need to speak up because of that gender stereotype.

I'm female, sixtyish, and an early adopter. I got my first computer in 1987, it had one floppy disk drive. I taught myself DOS. I know others, too. I and a few other early adopters tried to convince the adminisration it was time to  get everyone computers and word processing, and training in how to use them. It took several years...

Flash forward a few years, DOS was obsolete. I had to get myself a new computer every 2 years, and teach myself to use a new system every 2 years. The biggest revolution of course was the Internet. Anyone remember gopher? For a decade or so, there was nothing online worth going online for.

No one could guess we would be basically living online now. The good part is all that information from all over the world just a few clicks away, we are no longer being restricted to what gets filtered through a newspaper.

The bad is online  brawls and lynchings through social media.
