You’re saying that people who are old can’t learn or be taught how to use a modern communications tool. Who’s really being ageist here?
My 70 year old father can handle most things on his cellphone with just a few minutes of someone walking him through it.
Also, as of 2023, only 10% of the world population is over 65, so between the fact that there aren’t actually that many old people and some of them definitely CAN operate modern technology, it’s a good solution for most situations.
It would seem you deliberately ignored the “for no particular reason” part of my statement, which acts as an umbrella term specifically for those of the aged population that cannot operate or learn new technology FOR NO PARTICULAR REASON. That can be either cognitive or physical issues, or personal preference.
Nowhere did I imply in my previous statement that the majority of people of advancing years can learn how to operate said modern technology. I was merely pointing out YOUR lack of inclusiveness. Ageist.
