Although I am not that well-versed in internet technology, I grew up in the internet age and know how helpful IT is in our lives, let alone in a business environment. Many of my older friends who are in my father's generation are not receptive of it; perhaps they felt that IT is something so difficult that it not worth learning.
Each time there is an opportunity, I would let them know how useful internet technology is and how every day, it is advancing and if they do not catch up, the gap will be too wide and it will be too late as they see their business competitors grow by leaps and bounds.
One thing I stress is that they do not have to have hands-on experience or knowledge of IT though it would be good to know a little about it. The main thing is that they should be willing to change for the better and upgrade their operations. As for the technical side of it, they could outsource it to companies that offer it consulting and solutions.
This means that they are adopting IT without incurring addition costs from hiring new people and setting up a new IT department in the company. Besides, the staff would be able to refocus on their specialized fields.
