He said: 'As they say, I am now a modern woman. I've actually entered the 21st century.'
Furnish, 48, added: 'For someone who has steadfastly refused to get online, embrace the computer, embrace the internet, Elton's got the delivery of his first iPad 2 weeks ago because it has the double camera on it.
'He wants to Skype his little son every day when he is not with him.'
