I wanted to find out how people of different generations use computers, what they use their computers for, how they use them and what they feel about computers and software generally. So who better to ask than three generations of women from my family.
In this, the first of a series of three podcasts, I talk to my mum, Margo Christie about why she decided - quite recently - to buy herself a laptop. She describes how she learned to use a computer and what she uses it for now.
The books mentioned in the recording are:
- Easy PC: How to Use Your First Computer by Kenneth Mole
- The Internet for the Older Generation by Jim Gatenby
