Once in a while, yes, so would I. But mostly, seniors either know how to use computers or they are older and not interested or can't learn it. For a person over age 80, from what I've observed, it's pretty hard to learn computers. The ones I have known who have tried it just couldn't grasp it even though they were intelligent. Also, as time goes on there will be fewer and fewer people who don't know how to use computers. But there are always a few exceptions to the rule.
