去尝试新事物永远都不用在乎年纪。

Anna Stoehr, the oldest resident of Minnesota, signed up for Facebook just in time to get all those "happy birthday" wall posts when she turns 114 this weekend.

Anna Stoehr是明尼苏达最长寿的居民。在她本周末114岁生日到来之际，刚刚完成“脸书”的注册，收获了许多“生日快乐”的祝福帖。

However, there was a slight hitch in the process: 1900, the actual year of her birth, wasn't an option when she tried to fill out her profile. So Stoehr shaved 15 years off her age and pretended to be a spry 99-year-old to join the social network, she told news station KARE 11 in Minneapolis. (The earliest birth year listed on Facebook profiles is 1905.)但是，在注册过程中却遇到了一个小麻烦：她出生在1900年。但是在填写个人资料的时候，“脸书”却没有提供这个年份的选项。所以Stoehr不得不“减掉”15岁，成为一个99岁的社交网络活跃老太。Stoehr在接受明尼亚波利斯的一家媒体KARE采访时如是说。（脸书上出生年份最早只能选择1905年）Stoehr's interest in technology began when a Verizon sales rep, who sold a smartphone to her 85-year-old son, befriended her. Since then, he has been teaching her how to use the Internet.She even uses her iPad to FaceTime with people around the world.

Stoehr对于科技玩意儿的兴趣来源于Verizon的一个销售代表。当时这个销售代表把一台智能手机卖给了她85的儿子，后来这位代表和Stoehr成了好友。自那以后，销售代表教Stoehr如何使用互联网。她甚至借助iPad的FaceTime和来自世界各地的人交流。

Though Stoehr has learned a lot from her tech-savvy new friends, she's quick to point out she has plenty to teach younger generations, too.

Stoehr使用这些科技产品的技能大都得益于周围的朋友的指导，但她也表示她可以教晚辈很多这方面的知识。
