[YL] Re: [Random] digital literacy

[Michael Thompson]

this is not meant to be to confrontational, but I wanted to put this out there
as a second opinion on the Orion article:  though it makes a few decent points
worthy of consideration, that article is overall deeply flawed and
self-contradictary in both it's reasoning and conclusions.

If anyone is interested in why I say this, I would be glad to discuss it
off-group.

All of that being said, thank you Matt for posting the article and also 
posting
the link to your blog. I think you are right on about senior citizens 
and their
awesome wealth of experience and wisdom.

take care,
todd
