I feel like, to say that, you haven't tried helping many older adults — or even middle-aged adults — use technology.
If my older family member was scammed by something online, and someone said "lack of knowledge is no excuse," I think they'd really be missing the mark. Or if they shouldn't reproduce because they aren't good with technology.
It's a very HN take but it's one that lacks a lot of humanity.

- rstat1 1y ago>> I feel like, to say that, you haven't tried helping many older adults — or even middle-aged adults — use technology. I have actually. And do so pretty regularly. But the comment I was replying to was presumably not about older adults, and more so about younger parents of minor children, whom I wouldn't normally class as "older adults", and for the most part I would think know basic skills like using a search engine and/or Youtube (or some other video sharing app)
