And if nobody used digital cameras, my old 35mm would be just fine, if nobody 
used cell phones, the old land line would suffice...technology changes, society 
changes, usage changes...we as members of society have to change as well, or 
risk being left out of the loop so to speak.

I have several computers made during the 1980's that still work 
just fine, even for surfing the internet, but only on web pages 
that were created and designed according to the standards of the 
good old days - that means mostly text and few graphics and no 
JavaScript.

Old computers will last a very long time.

What did not last for very long were the old standards for 
creating and designing web pages.

Nowadays there just aren't a whole lot of really nice web pages 
out there that still conform to the old standards.

If all the authors of web pages would just simply conform to the 
old standards, then there would be very few home computer users 
feeling a need to upgrade their computers.
