I don't know who they interviewed either.

One thing I do wish, is that now that I am using all this, I don't take enough time to ACTUALLY talk to people anymore.

I am always answering emails, IMS, text messages, doing all this with CNN on in the background or CSpan.

Miss TALKING to people.

The other point is maybe many senior citizens cannot afford all this. Many are on a fixed income, and a computer takes some type of connection fee monthly, and so does a cell phone.

Don't underestimate how much of a fixed income, pension, people live on, and costs for everything have jumped.

A lot of us like our independence, but I do find that I have gained weight, now that I am on the computer so much for work and personal.

Who does these studies anyway. They must be including much older people who are not of the same generation as baby boomers.]]>Aug 12th 2008 1:49AMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/08/11/most-senior-citizens-dont-own-a-cell-phone-or-a-computer/http://www.switched.com/2008/08/11/most-senior-citizens-dont-own-a-cell-phone-or-a-computer/jitterbug" then she might use it more since they are simpler,but the research is plain and simple whether you are a senior and use these tools or not matters not...the majority still are not
