MARQUETTE -- A generation who didn't grow up with computers learned some new skills.  Every year the Northern Center for Lifelong Learning provides a technology course.  This year it was on emailing.

The course started off by explaining what an email is.  Students then set up their new email with a g-mail account.

"We did not grow up with computers and so for many people, all of a sudden we're faced with using a computer.  I was a computer teacher, so I'm very comfortable, but I think many people, depending on their job situation, did not have to a use a computer," said instructor for the NCLL, Elizabeth Bates.

Students also learned how to reply to emails, make attachments, and upload.
