That's the beauty of it, isn't it? I too am amazed at how people tend to relate to their computers (and to the web) in a variety of ways. For some, their computer is a very personal device, even a friend. Others it's a scary box that they don't know much about but use when they have too. Some carry theyr'e computers whereever they go. They can't be without it. Others stick it in the backroom or garage or out of the way, like it's an evil (but necessary) portal to the underworld. <br><br>Anyway, my thought is that the fact that people interact with technology differently (web, computer, cell phones) is a beautiful thing. It's just a representation of ourselves and thus a good thing. If there was only one 'proper' way to do things the world would be boring. Right? People are strange, People do things differently.

I can see how having less understanding of the internet would land someone at a dead end if that's the only way they knew to get there.
