For us old guys, that’s the whole truth and nothing but the truth…..

But, can he tie his shoelaces?

I’m in the group who designed and built the internet, smart phones, etc. I’m retired and don’t use any “smart” electronics.

I was nosing around in the attic yesterday with an 8- and 10-year-old when I found an old wind-up alarm clock that still works. They were amazed.

ridiculous ageism – expecting tech savvy in people just because they’re young is as stupid as expecting wisdom in people just because they’re old

An older, snarky grandkid will tell his tech buddies it was an IDtenT or PICNIC error.

gosh, not all of us older folk can’t be good at tech. Altho my son says I’m unusual

Have a smart phone need someone smart enough to operate it

I _ still_ think pocket calculators and digital watches are a miracle!

I started working with computers during the days of punch cards and tape drives, using Fortran as a programming language. My grand kids are much better at handling the new devices.

sad but true

Why a four-year-old child could understand this report. Run out and find me a four-year-old child. I can’t make head nor tail out of it.

These days the early generations of the PC Age are getting into their golden years. While not all are skilled in the details, most can get by.

Sounds about right.
