@AlisonCreekside @pluralistic I would say this is too simplistic. When I consider my parents who got old and then they were confronted with say "THE INTERNET", they basically ignored it for 20 years. Then my mother told herself for 5 years that she is too stupid for it and now did some first steps in using WhatsApp.

And this is how conservatism plays out even to the point that "the internet" is never touched at all to stay at this example.
