old people don't struggle with tech because they didn't grow up with it

well, they kinda do, but here's the thing

when you're old, all the tech that's out will be alien to you

I'm not even middle aged, I'm a tech enthusiast, and nonetheless it is happening to me already. new UI and new tools all happening too fast to keep up

we should be trying to do something about this for ourselves, not just for our mothers
