We just got a new employee at work. She is in her 60s and 100% computer illiterate. I had to give her training on how to use a mouse and how to click on bookmarks to open our shared sheets. She somehow deleted everything on one sheet the first day, but shes getting better. She doesn't own any computers and her phone is some no name model from 12 years ago. Im kinda impressed shes made it this far.

That's the youngest I've heard of someone like that. My grandpa was like that and in his 90s and I still thought he should get a computer for at least banking and stuff.

She must have been in her mid 40's when the iPhone came out, that's young enough to be interested and learn about the tech. She must have just actively ignored it or refused out of principle or something.

Age really isn't an excuse. My mom was in her 70s teaching her school district's apple tech how to use apple products. And this was like 2018.
