Sounds like she’s just nervous about it, like many older people. My mom doesn’t understand a lot about things on the internet, so she goes nuts about it all. I finally cured her of forwarding every “the sky is falling” email, but she still shreds the address labels from her magazines (no, her address and phones number are not unlisted). One time, I called her and she didn’t answer the phone, she just hung up on me because she didn’t recognize my home phone number that I’ve had for 11 years.
Some elders are keeping their independence by having computer, many cameras (none in bedroom) and one monitor and mike so they ca video chat to their paid elder watchers over the Interanet!
