I actually didn't get my first home computer until I was well into adulthood, which is a definite sign of my age. What is really funny is when I am sitting in my living room with my laptop going, and I use AIM to IM my 20-year-old son upstairs to see what he's watching or what he wants for supper, because I'm too comfortable to get up and yell up the stairs. Or I'll get on Skype and call my 18-year-old on his computer to see what his plans are, because that's where he's talking with his friends. But for kids that age, it's just another fact of life.
