When it comes to technology, the common perception is that older people, specifically senior citizens, have a more difficult time accepting and learning how to use it. (Hands up, anyone who has ever said to a younger person, “You do it for me lah”, or has had this said to them by an older relative, with regards to something technology-related.)
Of course, this is not true for all older people; some of them gleefully and enthusiastically embrace new technology, while others are quite willing to make use of it once someone teaches them how to do so.
