Fond nostalgia ahoy
My mom didn't see a computer until she was nearly 30, and to this day, over two decades later, she still has trouble with often basic computer functions, and her typing is, uh, not good. Impressive considering English isn't her first language, but still not particularly good. She has to stop and edit several times and take a lot of time to get her writing as eloquent as her speaking, and seeing as most people don't do that when talking online, if her writing was always her 'first draft' style, she'd definitely come across as trollish at times, or at least somewhat idiotic.
On the flip side, I've been playing on or using computers all my life, so computers are very intuitive for me. I've been in quite a few typing and computer classes at school, and almost all of them were very redundant for me, and I ended up completing the assignment or whatever in the first few minutes and then spent the rest of the class session either goofing off or helping other kids, some of whom never used a computer in their life outside of these classes. I got into fandom when I was 12 and I regularly passed for an adult, but I also knew that was pretty rare - most 12 year olds I knew were as idiotic online as they were in real life, and even at that age I could usually spot another under-ager a mile away, masquerading as an adult or not (back then it was usually the former, though these days it's usually the latter).
