I always felt like it was people in their 40s to 50s who were a bit computer-phobic. I'm 32 and just about everyone I know around my age is pretty much dependent on their computers. But perhaps this says more about the people I choose to hang out with. At this point trying to write stuff by hand for me is a monumental challenge.

After listening to interviews with Whishaw, I can sort of believe he'd be a bit techno-phobic. He did admit he couldn't even figure out how to open up the box that held the Omega watch the Skyfall people gave him.

My brother and I were always very computer literate because my father was interested in computers, so we had them right since I was about four or five, so...very early 90's. It's also why everyone in my family uses the mouse with their left hands--my father is left handed and he taught us, so none of us can use it with our right hands now. But I do know I was in the minority growing up, though perhaps not now. I imagine some people just never joined the bandwagon.

This is now getting off the topic of Skyfall but I'm halfway convinced that if computers never came into being, I would have barely made it through college. Certainly I would not have gone to grad school. I found doing writing assignments as a child absolute agony with my hand constantly cramping up and my handwriting being impossible to read.

Now that I'm doing neurological testing, I realize I probably have mild proprioception issues where writing by hand is much more strenuous for me than the average person.

Anyway, Skyfall has gotten me back on the Bond bandwagon. I hope the next film is as entertaining. It was so wonderfully classic!Bond in many ways with the newer elements seamlessly woven in.

I had the same problems as a kid. My handwriting still looks like a six year old's, though I don't know if it would have improved if I hadn't had the computer to use and been forced to write. I write by hand at night before bed, and it's awful looking. I have a bad habit of combining letters and therefore losing one of them, like hooking a g on the bottom of an n and losing the n. I loathed being forced to write in school.

I've always been a huge Bond fan, and a bit ashamed of it consideration how angry I should be at its portrayal of women. I just like hot guys being heroic. I've really loved the new direction of the films, though. Nice nods to the past, but substance too, and not just cool gadgets. I loved Skyfall, and I hope the follow-ups keep up the trend. I'm a big fan of Craig-as-Bond.
