[quote=Anonymous]New poster. I think you are underestimating the power of being scared of any change/anything new, and how early it starts in many people. I have a friend in her early 40s who “hates” changes in user interface, changes that come with updates on her phone etc I know someone in her early 50s who still uses a navigation device that is attached to her old car without a screen. Actually I’m wrong, her DH finally wrangled her into buying a new car so I expect to hear a lot of complaints how horrible it is getting used to it. These are relatively young people, so those who are elderly are way worse. Cognitive decline often starts in the 50s unfortunately, many people in their 60s are already not too sharp, let alone in their 80s! We overestimate the adequacy of old people that’s for sure.
