"What is an older adult?
And what are computer skills?
I know quite a few guys over 50 who can still code in C++ and assembler quite easily. There aren't that many young people who can do that any more.

There aren't that many young people who can do that any more.I'm one of those and I also teach college classes in those subjects plus C#, VB.NET and Java if necessary. 50s is not old, Our generation introduced the younger generation to computers, video games etc. and we still use them.
