Why are old people so bad at using technology?

boot into Windows and use Microsoft Quick Assist

also stop shaming your dad for this. people's brains stop learning new things after a certain age. this will happen to you one day. in fact, I'm sure it already has. can you navigate the TikTok and Snapchat apps as well as a 14 yo zoomer can?

At the very least it's pretty bad that most people don't know what an operating system is.

Most boomers never had to do anything complicated to live a good life because economy was booming. They are simply not used to using their brains.

Check out the big brains itt.

SJWs are not boomers, by and large. I'm not at all convinced boomers are any dumber than later generations. They simply had less access to information, since the MSM had almost complete control. Today with the Internet there is no excuse. Of course they're trying their best to censor, so that little window may disappear.

HELP I CANNOT FIND ANY KEY

You're not a true OG Tech until you got that kind of customer.

It's just him being him. It's pretty much proven at this point that while there are some medical truths in age meaning deterioration of mental faculties, outside of things that are outright diseases it barely matters. If you're an alcoholic for a few years you do more damage. People who are good with computers now and open to learn new things will be the same when they're 75. There are some people in tech that still do serious programming work that were already in their twenties when most people itt weren't even born.

Age doesn't really play a relevant factor at all. Some people just kinda give up and coast through life on autopilot, the older the more likely. Imagine you in a place where you probably only have 5-10 years left at best with questionable quality of life and everything on your body is noticeably slowly giving out and all your friends and actors/artists/journalists/politicians etc. you've known are dead. It takes a special kind of attitude to not just completely give up at that point. Tompson and Pike are in their mid-60s and mid-70s respectively and whipped up the language Go. People finish university and college degrees in their 70s and 80s. It's all up how you carry yourself through life, plain and simple. Oh and don't drink and/or do drugs. The PSAs were right after all, they literally rot your brain. Most of all alcohol. Stuff's brain-poison.

Our society is very bad at handling old people and it shows. There's an obsession with youth and it somehow magically making up for all. People in their 30s are "middle aged" now. It's horrifying.

Don't cut him crap because he's old. Treat him like an adult and talk to him like an adult who makes no effort to do something.

do people who have been using computers for at least the last 10 years but don't know what ctrl/shift click does count?

WHAT HAPPENED WITH (((THE ECONOMY)))?

why decades ago it was booming, you could easily buy house with salary, but now people work in shit jobs without being able to afford rent? even though there is more wealth in world than ever, more technology etc? who really profits from this and takes all that wealth?

it's almost like if capitalism doesn't work... or works, but not as you people think. it's pretty good at taking all wealth and concentrating it in small amount of individuals.

Fuck off, commie shit. You deserve a bullet through your skull.
