Is using torrents now officially mainstream? Are HS chicks that used to use the computer only for myspace or aim now downloading movies with torrents? Are old couples who don't know what a DVD is, doing this too? I think this is too funny, or maybe he's just an anomaly.    | ||

If he can get the latest of movies and music to his own choosing from about an unlimited selection, that lowers the barrier for learning considerably. It took a while though before the older generation got to hear about it.. Must be because they aren't that into using instant messaging, rather clinging to the tradition of chatting in a bar a couple of times a month so the underground news travels a lot slower. I find it funny how often computer usage is viewed as a goal in itself. | ||

In one's old age not only is hearing worse, but so are reflexes. So whereas a young guy would have heard before they entered or minimized everything in a flash an old man would be helpless. T.T | ||

They've never considered learning it because they actually believe that there is a significant chance of getting caught. Have anyone ever been caught downloading torrents? I that that only the most prominent uploaders get caught. On March 02 2010 08:09 s.Q.uelched wrote: My grandma is 84 and has a laptop.
