Why People Don’t Use Technology

I get very tired of hearing that people can’t use technology because of their age. There is nothing in any program or piece of hardware that switches off as soon as you hit a particular number. Instead, I would say it is one of these reasons:

• You don’t like it
• You don’t want to know
• You don’t see the value
• You don’t have a need
• You don’t understand it

If people would own which of these was the real issue, we could move forward and fix it.  As long as you say it is age-related, there is nothing I can do for you because I can’t make you younger.  But maybe, if we could discuss it for real, you would feel like we found the fountain of youth since I could help you.
