[QUOTE="DDD, post: 372553, member: 35"] Even in our little community the impact of computer use is separating the "haves" from the "have nots". It seems surreal to me. The video stores have closed (big chain not Mom/Pop) so I guess you are expected to use Netflix or ?? net site. husband and I don't care but families with kids and no Net are up the creek. To say nothing about elderly citizens. The banks want you to scan your checks :blushing: using your cell phone. WTH! Alot of people don't own cells. In business very few suppliers are mailing bills or price sheets. They come via e-mail. Today I had to download and print 45 pgs of new prices from one company. My ink cartridge costs have doubled. We're among the oldsters who are literate but I think it is downright scarey that the "have nots" are getting eliminated from the loop. End of vent. DDD [/QUOTE]
