  abstract =     "An introductory computer course was offered to adults
                 60 years and older. A computer attitude survey was
                 administered before and after the course in order to
                 uncover preexisting concerns and reveal those attitudes
                 most affected by the course. Attitudes following the
                 course were marked by highly positive changes. Survey
                 results revealed that after the course the participants
                 felt better acquainted with computer terminology, less
                 left out because they are unfamiliar with computers,
                 less apprehensive about using a computer, and more
                 certain of their ability to interpret a computer
                 printout. An interaction diary maintained by each of
                 the participants revealed enthusiastic learners who
                 were eager to take more courses in the future. Contrary
                 to widely held stereotypes, many older adults view
                 computer technology favorably and can benefit from
                 acquisition of basic computer skills.",
