Disagreement- Article 4

I also agree with the author of this article as they talk about how if you have an interest in technology then you are more likely to have a better understanding of it despite your age. I take my parents as an example they are both the same age. However my mum doesnt really have a great interest in technology she does have a mobile phone but doesn't really use it that much only when she really needs to and hasn't really got the first idea about computers she types slow and only uses them for work purposes. Because she doesn't have an interest in it she doesn't really want to develop her knowledge further. Like with anything in life if you don't have a particular interest in a topic it puts you off learning about it no matter how old or young you are. My dad on the other hand relies a lot on technology uses it all the time and is always on his lap top and mobile phone because he has an interest in it.

Helen,

Yes, this does seem to make sense. My Mum and Dad are similar to your parents...but reversed...it's my Mum who uses the computer and text alot...my Dad isn't so used to using them.

All the best

Emma
