Had some similar reactions here.  Would be very interested in hearing your points Todd, as I can't figure out your specific email.  Mine is below.

Subject: [YL] Re: [Random] digital literacy


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
