My 85-y.o. mother recently moved to FL and now wants to be able to converse with friends from MA by email. So I got her a Chromebook. Mom has never used a modern computer. She once did data entry for a hospital, but that was just filling in data fields back in the early 90's. Just trying to explain the mouse and clicking and scrolling has proven a challenge. Toss in a noticeable lack of motor skills and just getting her to click on an icon is difficult. And this is just for Solitaire (which I loaded to help with her mouse control skills.) Emailing is a whole other level.
Anyone else have an elderly parent who started in with a computer late in life?
