Getting with the program.
I remember in the early days of computers when complicated machines were introduced at department stores. Instead of the former cash registers, the new machines were much bigger, had lots more buttons, and did more complex operations. Initially, you would frequently be delayed while an expert from another department had to be called over to help your clerk cajole the machine into letting you make your purchase. But most of the time I was amazed at the sweet little old ladies at Younkers gamely pushing buttons. They had gotten with the program. It was the beginning of the great divide -- the computer literate on the modern side of the mountain waving good bye to the older generation. I feel personally hell bent to do facebook and now blog just to not be left in a cloud of dust (or some more apt computer image). :) It's sort of like plastic surgery, except for the mind.
