They came with their cell phones in hand, eager to learn about modern technology. 

"If you live with kids, you hear about this stuff," said Lee Luna, a grandmother who lives with her daughter's family.

The group -- all senior citizens -- gathered at Eagle Mountain City Hall on Monday night. Librarian Karen Kast presented information on computer classes offered by the Eagle Mountain Library, specifically for senior citizens.

"We want to know what you want to learn about," Kast said.

The laughing response from several of the ladies present was, "We don't know enough to know what to ask for."

If the computer breaks in her house, Luna said, she just calls someone over to fix it. She is not interested in how it works. She just wants it to work for her.

The group talked about blogging, and many participants learned about the term for the first time. A few people said that they looked at their family's blogs, but did not know how to set up their own. Other topics included e-mail organization, text messaging, flash drives and thumb drives, backup discs and online banking and shopping.

Not all of the seniors present were technologically challenged. Many spoke of e-mails, cell phone plans, digital photo downloading and even creating video DVDs with music as gifts.

"I've worked with computers all my life," said Greg Kaufman. When asked what brought him to the senior activity, he said, "I'm a senior, what can I say?" He spent time after the meeting helping some of the other participants discover features on their cell phones.

The evening ended with Philip Black reciting a lengthy Western poem. He disclosed that he may have trouble getting his computer to work, but his memory is fully functioning with space to spare.
