At this point in time "Grandma" could have been involved in the creation of the internet and working on the next big thing. Maybe use the word expert or techie or something.
Edit: :)
- eunoia 8y agoTrue. I just wanted a nice folksy metaphor.
- njarboe 8y agoShould have added a smiley or something to my comment. I meant it more as a history remimder then social commentary.
- freehunter 8y agoThat claim could be made at literally any point in history. Even in 1983, any employee at ARPA could have been a grandparent. Old people have been involved in technology since the very beginning. I'm not seeing your point.
- njarboe 8y agoI was thinking the internet was started around 1970. Your point is correct, but any Grandma working on it then is very likely dead, so unlikely to be working on the next internet.
- threeseed 8y agoYou have completely twisted that point to mean something else. The point is that certain parts of our society are not technical and will never be technical. Despite the expectations and wishes of a tiny minority of technical people.
