"It's the financial system of the future!"

"Only techies can use it!"

Pick one.

By 1950s standards, most Americans are "techies". We learn what we have to in order to survive in a given environment.

We use more technology, but we understand less about what makes it tick. Most of today's Americans can't change a flat tire, let alone the oil. 1950s America would laugh at us for that.

Someone's ability to use a smartphone doesn't mean they're capable of patching the thing to keep it secure.
