Yesterday I was watching Regis & Kelly with my mom (well, she was watching and I was hanging out with her, haha) and I heard Regis Philbin tell his audience that blogs were (i'm loosely quoting, here) "these things that used to be private online journals, but now everyone can see them because they were unlocked by the internet ( Read more... )

Pretty sure Regis is over 70, another category entirely. My mom's 52, knows what blogs are, lives on email, can make pretty things in photoshop, shops online, etc. My step-dad is 50-?, and has been a software engineer for something like 25 years. They both have iPods.

Steve Jobs and Bill Gates are both 52.

Regis is the only moron here.

Dude, I know there are tons of people over 40, over 50 and 60 even who still play around with current technology and are very savvy indeed. But from what I've seen, working in an Apple retail store, there is an overwhelming majority of people (especially women) aged 30 to 50 that can't even comprehend free wifi. All I'm saying is, can we get smarter people doing daytime television? Cuz then maybe the people watching it will turn out smarter? Like, Sesame Street for housewives and deadbeats? Can we get that, please? I think it'd really help.

Agreed! Regis is an idiot, and we can do better.

I realize I'm somewhat of a killjoy, by the way.

Also, did you know Steve jobs is the largest single shareholder of Disney? I learned it when the internet unlocked it for me.
