"There is no age when you cannot use technology. A professor at my university asked me if, at 70, he was too old to learn technology. I told him no, technology is accessible to everyone – and these days that professor carries a laptop. As long as somebody gives you the confidence you can do it. This is what is so mis- sing from so many of our girls. They need confidence. We need to de-mystify technology, there is nothing hard about using a computer."
