People who grew up in the 70s when technology started coming in are all almost fifty. So I'd say you're looking at another ten years or so of this, depending how long our grandparents live. Not to mention the fact that this stuff used to happen with snail mail as well. How many people fell for that before there was Google?

it's actually kind of funny.

my wifes grandpa constantly asks her to do something with his TV because he pushed a button and it did a thing, or she orders hearing aid batteries from amazon for him, and it's like, he could absolutely learn how to do these things.

and yet, i've seen him literally take apart a car piece by piece and reassemble it without looking anything up. that blows my fucking mind that he can do that, but doesn't understand how to press the input button on his tv remote control a few times.


I can add oil and torque a tire, when I have jacks and stands. That's all. I think it's a stubbornness issue. I was thinking about going to mechanics school. They will always be in demand.
