Proof that you're never too old to learn about technology: Reuters featured a story about a grandmother who learned to blog at age 95. Maria Amelia lives in Spain, and her blog is titled A mis 95 aos. She gives us great hope for our future, much like the Wii playing seniors and the retiree Wii bowling tournaments.

My grandpa got his first computer at the age of 89. We bought him a digital camera for his 90th. He's now 93 and on his second computer because the hand-me-down one he was setup with my dad simply wasn't powerful enough to do all the photo editing he was working on. He has to have everything written down for him, step-by-step, but the simple fact that he's interested in getting with this new technology is astounding to us.

And, yes, he has done a little Wii bowling when I brought mine home for a visit last Spring.
