Many older people are now using the Internet. At first, they didn't want to learn about computers. They thought computers were difficult to use. They cost a lot of money. Then some grandparents learned how to use e-mail to write to their grandchildren. Later they started to talk with their friends in other cities using a chat room. It was fun and cheaper than using the telephone. Now older people are using the Internet to check the weather, make airline reservations, find movie reviews, and even follow their favorite sports teams.
