Genuine q I've been wondering: Is it not theoretically possible to get olds up to speed by offering structured courses for them to get acquainted to the patterns of current tech we intuitively get?

Ofc, assuming they're willing to go through it

It must be really hard. Especially when they need help and want to understand a little bit of it, and some young people get mad about it. This makes me very sad 🥺 I taught my grandmother to use telegram (it was difficult, but together we managed) I often send her some photos, videos, or sometimes even books, she is so happy
