My mother was a member of a senior center where they had all kinds
of exercise classes, etc, and had a cheap lunch. She was 88 and
felt left out because all the other seniors had smart phones they
used for all kinds of things. I got her one, of course.

Point is, all these pre baby boomers aren't necessarily sitting
around thinking about the olden days. Plenty of them are with it
and still curious so why should their next generation be any different.
