I would agree with you if 100% of older judges were less adept at technology than all younger people. But the fact is, that while the stereotype of older people being worse at tech than younger people is true on a statistical level, it is not true on every individual level. And that is the very definition of -ism. Assuming someone must not be good at something because of their age or group or whatever.
Statistically, black people are less likely to have a college degree than white people. Does that mean it is ok to not consider black candidates for hire since statistically, they are less educated? Of course not.
If the problem is that judges don't understand technology, then the solution is to get more judges that do. Not, get younger judges and hope that they understand tech better than their older counterparts because it will probably play out that way statistically.
- goldenkey 6y agoIf you believe that, then statistically, these court cases have a high chance of being bungled. Individual judges need not factor in.
