I'm surprised that an HR professional didn't pick up on the ageism remarks in Presto's marketing blurb. Have a look here to see what I mean. It may be a useful product but they shouldn't be classifying 70+ million boomers as technophobes.

It was on Vancouver TV this morning that the guy returned the computer. He said a friend loaned it to him and he had no idea it was stolen. Yeah, right.

I am finding that once you get a 60+ person who was scared of technology turned onto it, there is no stopping them. 60+ are the fastest growing demographic of new computer users. But I hope they use Facebook instead of sites like Eons so that they can interact with people of all ages, not just their own age.

It's refreshing to see a balanced discussion like this that analyzes the causes of this phenomena. If you want to see real scare mongering and a hang'em high attitude, (complete with high 5's over the suicide mentioned above) check out the Chinese Poison Train posts at Cosumerist.

Funny how I remember comments and concerns like these about Japan 40 years ago. Look at them today. They learned from their failures, and I will be surprised if the Chinese don't as well.
