Here’s the first one off the top of my head. I don’t communicate with my grandmother apart from face-to-face conversations because she doesn’t know how to use a computer and I don’t have a home phone line. I generalize this to be: elderly people are often cautious and hesitant regarding change and/or are afraid of new technology that appears complicated or otherwise hard to use, which is something I have seen in many (but not all) elderly people I know. I can emphasize and understand where they are coming from, after all if you’ve lived your life one way, it’s very easy to keep living your life in that way, as well as the psychological issues surrounding change. (The one thing I cannot really comprehend are young people who are apprehensive about or scared of computers, and who choose to maintain that fear instead of starting to learn how to use computers.)
