My mom was using email likely before you were born. She knew the risks.

But please, keep your ridiculous ageism going.

It's not that there aren't exceptions, but it's pretty obvious old politicians aren't hip to technology from the past 30 years, isn't it?

I didn't say "every old person is dumb and invalid and will rot in their living rooms out of stupidity." But, an average 4 year old can use an iPhone better than an average 63 year old.

This 'an average 4 year old can use an iPhone better...' makes me cringe every time I hear it, especially when it comes from proud parents who think their offspring is a genius. The geniuses here are the engineers who made the device usable by the 4 year old, not the other way around.

As the father of a 5 year old and a 3 year old, that's simply not true.
