Subject: Possible interview opportunity about younger people teaching older
people how to use technology

Dear Sociology of Culture Section Members:

I am looking for a sociologist who can speak with Anita Manning, a freelance
reporter for USA Today, for a story she is working on about younger people
teaching older people how to use technology.

Ideally, she would like to speak with someone who has studied this issue and
thought about how interesting this switch is from what has happened
historically‹older people teaching younger people. In this case, older
people are depending on younger people to learn something that is critically
important. Anita doesn't really think this has happened before.

If you are interested in possibly being interviewed for this story, please
provide me with your best contact information (email and phone) as soon as
possible.

Thank you,
Dan
