Oh I agree.I would say that my generation as a whole have adapted to tech in a big way. I do know a number though who stubbornly resist using anything smacking of new fangled technology
My sister in law for example won't even use an ATM and insists on going to the bank for cash. Modern tech is definitely so much easier than it was 5 years back but if you have never used an iphone or ipad or its equivalent its still quite a big the leap to adopt it in your later years .
I find that when teaching someone the basics is the big problem is their fear of doing something wrong somehow and are loathe to play around and experiment. A lot of older people are also scared by stories they read in the papers of scammers and hackers.
