Guilty as charged to some of those questions.
Less now than 20 years ago when I let go of my beloved
WEB-TV. I had to. None of the sales people at Best Buy knew much of anything about WEB-TV.
I had to take ‘one small step’ for a Boomer and get a Laptop.

My wife’s uncle used to call me several times a month to print something from his iphone. I would patiently explain it to him. Once he couldn’t get his computer to do something and was amazed when I Facetimed him and was able to look at his screen. Another time he wanted to print out a 180 page instruction book on something when he had it in pdf.

Having been in the business for 30 years these are very close to my encounters. Trying to troubleshoot over the phone was the most exasperating part of the job. It wasn't just the elderly either.
I was trying to get a lady to find the "My Computer" icon.
ME: What's at the top of your screen?
Her: Samsung.
Me: I'll be there in an hour.

Actually happened to me while setting up a user
“Type in a password”
(After 5 minutes of anguish, types something in)
“Ok hit return and type it in again”
“I don’t remember what it was”

I had an older student say, ‘I don’t use the confuzer but I can get my daughter to look it up on the innertube.’
To: sodpoodle
An older woman in my office was befuddled when computers replaced typewriters. She couldn’t figure out why formulas in her Lotus program wouldn’t compute. Turns out she was entering a lower-case “L” instead of numerical “1”. Well, that’s where “1” was on typewriters.

Seniors huh?
I am a “senior” and I bet I know a heck of lot more about computers than a lot of you young pups.
Do any of these young people even know anything about Dos and the days before gui or how to interface with IBM mainframes and AS400s and Digital VAXs from back in the day?
I think most millenials are addicted to their smart phones and texting and Facebook and whatnot.
Outside of the techies, the rest of them don't seem to know a whole lot about computers. JMHO.

I recently got a laptop and guess what????
It works just fine sitting on a table...It don’t have to be in my lap.....

Probably older models. Should have upgraded.
