I found this overview on the state of the internet pretty fascinating.

Talk about an egghead.

I'm thinking that elderly people (those over 50) need an easy-to-use, simplified version of facebook, accessible through some Kindle-sized mobile device. There already is a simple cell phone for oldsters called Jitterbug that work well. Retired people need social networking more than college kids. Perhaps I will set myself and Tex up as a prototype.

rats, somebody beat me to it.

but thanks for the post Iron, I see several potential new friends for me there.

Ziggy, I was making a funny.

The egghead guy makes me feel out of it. I simply can not get excited about tech gadgets anymore. even packerrats is too new-fangled for me.
