Can we please get rid of the stereotype that older people aren't "tech savvy"?

Older people today have been using computers since they were in their teens or twenties. Conversely, I know a 20-something woman who can't understand why her iMessages quit working when she switched to an Android phone, despite explaining it to her multiple times.

As you note, they also have more money.

I always hated that stereotype too. Those older people were the ones to design our current processors, operating systems, and the internet and web itself. The people who sent man to the moon would be nearing 80-100 years old already.
