| Hmm I'd be interested in hearing how many people out there who use the internet just don't care about broadband? I'm sure it's a high number.
Not everyone who goes online is a pimply faced teenager who can't get a date and still lives at home with his parents and whose only connection to anything is via a computer.
$9 a month dial up is more than enough for the baby boomers and other more rural people in America and many inner city people. In many cases the TV and the radio serve all the entertainment needs of a great majority of people.

Grand Rapids, MI | That closed minded idea. When I first got a cable modem I was in college and still living at home. When I moved out I moved my account to my new place. It was not more than 6 months my father (who is 50) had a cable modem installed in his name. He hated how slow dial-up was. My point is that he is not a pimply faced teenager but he still has a use for broadband. Just because some one is old does not mean that are not going to keep of with technology. Think before you make stereotypical comment like that. |

1 edit | Talk about "stereotypical". So what. your dad got cable AFTER being exposed to it. I have news for you: Many of the older folks dont give a rats ass about broadband. The majority of them that are on the internet are using dialup and many use AOL because they have friends they talk with there.
The fact (with a few exceptions, just like in anything) is that older people generally do NOT keep up with technology. Analog Cable TV and off air radio are plenty for them. They are products of a different generation and mindset. People try to judge them by todays mindset/standards and that's where they make their mistake. |
