My father avoided using any kind of computers until he was 68. The we got him an Android tablet. Not the best choice to be honest, but it's too late, he got used to it. He's now 77 and he still cannot distinguish what's part of Android OS, what's part of some application or what's just a web page in browser. All the popups confuse and overwhelm him. Somehow he still manages to take some photos of his plants and watches ton of YouTube. It's both fascinating and terrifying to watch him use his tablet. I do sometimes wonder how he'd adapt to UI like Windows 95/XP Classic.

That's the thing about people who aren't "into" tech, they have no idea what all this terminology is. What the hell is an OS, an app, a browser, a website? My grandma was completely shocked when I told her that some $100 phone she saw at the mall behaves exactly the same as her $1000 Samsung flagship whatever. To her, the whole phone is just run by Samsung. If you start telling people like her to always check the domain name in the email sender field, she won't even ask, "what's a domain name," she'll ask, "what's email? You mean the Yahoo button on my phone?"
