This past weekend, I received a phone call from my 64 year old mother in law (yes...I received permission to publish her age). : )  
 
Long story short, she was trying to figure out why her wireless router was no longer working after a storm blew through Davenport, Iowa.  
 
Over the next hour, we went through some troubleshooting steps, and eventually ascertained that she needed a new router. She then purchased an Apple Airport Express from Best Buy, set it up, enabled WPA encryption on it, and connected all of the computers in her home to it.  
 
She is a shining example that you can effectively continue to learn and grow with regards to technology no matter what your age.
