If someone is 67, home computing has been a thing for likely over 1/3 of their lives (depending on geography). Kind of a terrible take to treat 67 as "old" in

If someone is 67, home computing has been a thing for likely over 1/3 of their lives (depending on geography).
Kind of a terrible take to treat 67 as "old" in this regard.
- circuit10 3y agoBut this wasn’t talking about all 67-years but a specific example. Of course the fact that it was mentioned implies that it’s relevant but I think it is because people who didn’t grow up with it tend to struggle a lot more
- BeefWellington 3y agoIf it's a specific example, why mention her age. What you're trying to retcon into the comment is that they really meant to say "My mother, who is not great with technology, can easily sign up for Netflix." This is the way to communicate this in a non-ageist way. The age was thrown in as a clear attempt to draw on stereotypes that the elderly are poor with technology.
