I find PD James comments about computers patronising and ageist. There is no reason why anyone cannot be taught how to use a computer, if they want to. My father, at the age of 83 would be very lonely without one. He talks to his family every day on Skype, buys and sells on EBay, listens to his kind of music on Youtube, and he spends hours amusing himself by trying to catch out Wikipedia on any factual errors. He only got a computer four years ago. Life would be lonely and boring without it for him.
