McCain is "aware of the internet"

The video below really makes me wonder about Republican John McCain. McCain, according to one of his staffers, is "aware of the internet." Wow! He is "aware of the internet." Senator McCain has been in the U.S. Senate for years. U.S. Senators carry a Blackberry, use computers, send/receive e-mails, send/receive faxes, use voice mail, etc., etc. Is McCain "aware" of this technology? Can he use them? Does he open his own e-mail? Seriously, how can person be a "maverick" if they can't even use the internet? There are many people in their 80's and 90's that are using computers and surfing the internet. Has McCain refused to accept training to use a computer? Does this reluctance to embrace technology show us a stubborn-headed old man who is unwilling to learn and explore modern innovations? I think so.
