My dad, in his 70s, has never used a smartphone and barely used a computer. I act as his personal assistant, booking flight tickets and managing stuff that comes up along the way, but there’s an increasing assumption that the passenger has a smartphone. At some point, I’m worried that his credit card issuer or an airline is going to block a purchase because I’m using his credit card (with his full knowledge and permission!) in a different country - VPN would just look even sketchier. I’m glad the author mentioned email-only Covid test results - that’s just another thing I’m going to have coordinate with printer-having family near him. My dad really doesn’t want a smartphone, and having seen his peers engrossed with theirs like stereotypical teenagers when I visited his Sunday School class a few years ago, I’m not sorry.
