This is an excellent idea to assist the inexperienced become more knowledgeable in the IT world. It's just a shame that the over 50's tend to be typecast as being the group most in need of such. I refute this and believe that people of all ages are at different levels of understanding in the computer world. Old age is not a disease. Our bodies may be more frail but our minds remain the same as they were when we were young. There is little difference in people, but that little difference makes a big difference. The little difference is attitude. The big difference is whether it is positive or negative.
I am 62 years old and have been in the IT business since the 80's when computers first started to appear in the workplace. I help all my friends who are of a similar age with their pcs. My friends all have different levels of understanding and capability. They are not less capable or less able to learn just because they are older.

I am gone 71, fit enough to chop down trees, swing a pick to dig out the stumps, manage a large garden, and last summer finished painting the balance of 17 Georgian type windows and can teach some of the kids I know some things even now about PCs and, in particular, plain good manners. Why write my generation off when what is replacing it is mainly a greedy selfish society that has to have everything yesterday at any cost even if it has to be borrowed. God help us all I say if somebody believes society is better than it used to be.
