[Web4lib] Classes for Seniors

[K.G. Schneider]

Substitute "car" for "computer" in that discussion. Now think, do you know
how your car works? I have a good, general idea, and I also know how to read
the instrument panel, listen to sounds that indicate problems, provide its
scheduled maintenance, and call AAA when I have road trouble. 

I think the level of computer knowledge shouldn't need to be higher or lower
than that for most people, young or old, regardless of setting. The kid with
the blank look about saving to disk is the same one you see on the side of
the highway trying to change his own tire because he wasn't listening when
his parents said "road service." He needs that level of education, but he
doesn't necessarily need to know how an API works or what RSS means. 

This isn't disagreeing with what's been said... just refining the concept.
