103? Quite a triumph! Interested to know if she has any little online quirks?

I recall my nan complaining that when she writes an email, she always runs out of room… I later discovered that she didn’t know you could scroll

Tell your Grandma, I think she rocks too

Well, I am gonna up the game here a bit. Just set up my Grandma with Skype today, her own account and own email linked in her own house, and she will be starting use of it tonight with a family skype-a-thon. Oh, as for her age? 103 and fully in command of her faculties. Lets see any one beat that, and I will invite you all to give her a call once I have her comfortable with it to see for yourselves. She has used it before, about 3 years ago, to talk to family in Ireland. Which she still remembers. Granny rocks.

Oh no! Looks like my Nan is going to lose her title!!!!!! Maybe it’s time for her to move on to Twitter
It’s amazing that the 75+ age group seems to have really adapted to Skype whereas the younger crowds (25-75) are laggards!

I sit here with my uncle, eating dinner. He tells me he know a couple well where the man is 94, soon turning 95 and uses Skype regularly to call his grand grand child
However on http://forum.skype.com/index.php?showtopic=17051&st=0 somebody claims 95

That’s too funny!!! I totally forgot about that. She is definitely on the bleeding edge of technology!

She’s definitely the oldest! She was also the first person to ever use Google Talk — on the first day it was in Beta. =)
