Yep, you’re probably right. Cochran reminds me of some older businessmen I recall working with in the 1980s - lingering past retirement age and totally clueless about those “computer” things that someone put in their offices. More than one of them used to lapse into “dictaphone” mode when leaving messages on that newfangled voicemail, too. Funny and sad, all rolled together.
Hahaha, there was an entire generation who simply stopped at the television remote control (once there were enough channels for that to matter). My father was one of them. The first time he wielded a computer mouse, he picked it up, pointed it at the screen, and started clicking, just like with the remote. He never did figure out how to make it move on the screen, or where to click. It was fascinating, and this was a smart man. He had simply completely checked out of technology a good 25 years before that.
