Just because a person is older than you doesn't mean they're either stupid or completely non-technical.
Plenty of older people started using computer in the middle of the sixties. So what if we started with card punch machines, tape readers, and mainframes?
Just exactly what do you mean by "normal?" How much computer exposure does it take before one loses that quality and becomes, well, "you?"
There are lots of grandparents coding away in cubes across the world or tinkering with their prized home-brew desktop rig. Take a reality pill, kiddo.
If anything, there are fewer younger people who will tinker with crypto because the vast majority of them think they're invincible, indestructible, and immortal, when they're really just inexperienced and gullible.
- icebraining 11y agoI understand that there's a prejudice against older people regarding technical ability, but the parent poster didn't actually say anything regarding old people in general, just about his/her grandparents specifically.
- tired_man 11y agoGrandparents _are_ the prototypical older generation. Read areound. That's become the common usage ;-)
- icebraining 11y agoSo how are we supposed to refer to our actual grandparents, without people assuming we're making a generalization?
