What's the value of this?
I'm just saying not to use "old people" as a synonym for "technologically inexperienced".
Even if there are *some* old people who are technologically inexperienced, it's still not a reasonable analogy to use.
Why is it so important to everyone to contradict that? Is it so great to say dumb things about old people?
