How Much Longer before we stop giving Old People a pass for being Computer Illiterate?

[Jekyll]

They have people in the projects with Gucci, Birkins, and Benzes right now as well.

Doesn't change the overall average trend.
1990 - 15%
1997 - 38%
in the richest country in the world alone. Imagine what those numbers were looking like in the rest of the world.

The statement that computers were only for rich people in the 90s is false as hell. If anything, the people on computers in the 90s were broke as hell.

Only group worse than the elderly are the people using Apple devices complaining about how much stuff costs like charging cables, adapters, etc.

You paid $1500 for a phone and complaining about spending $30-50 on a case??????

People been sending emails and surfing the web for 40 years now. If you 80 years old that's half your damn life.

What the hell are you talking about?

I don't give them passes. I charge them to do the job for them.......

OG: Hey, I got this problem. My computer is stuck and there's this warning message telling me to call this number to fix it. I can't close this window. What do I do?

Me: Bring it to me. I'll fix that for $50. Don't worry.

i actually did this once for an old lady down the street from my house. Every since then, if she saw me walking down the street with my dog or my son she would stop me and ask for help with her damn pc. It got so bad i started taking a different route on my walks.

Show her how to use a Google Search and YouTube for simple problems and you won't see her unless she's got REAL problems. Might take a while, though.​

you realize i was born before 2000 and was not a rich person or a webdesigner but used Computers and internet all throughout the 90s? I know for fact you're wrong.
I used to play this game all the time on pc. was that a rich persons only game or a hobby for webdesigners? all i know is that in 1991 it was piff.

C'mon breh. PC gaming was not a hobby for most folks. They were ridiculously expensive. Most gamers were on consoles. I was born in '84, and most of my friends' families didn't own computers until the mid to late 90's.

You just contradicted the breh i was quoting. thanks for proving my point. People had pc's in the 90s. He claims nobody had that shyt until the 00s. Unless your were rich.

I don't know man. I know quite a few old people who don't do well with computers, or setting up a television, or their smart phone, etc.. However, at the same time, they know how remove and install a water heater, do minor plumbing in their own, minor electrical repairs, work on their cars, etc.. I can't hold computers against them. Gottta look at the whole picture.

 

[Save $ not Hoes]

Breh I tried to put some old heads on to google books and audiobooks. These fools looked like I was talking about witch craft. You hate to see when old heads can't accept the

That's a fair point. I know alot of people who couldn't change a flat tire to save their lives.
