Wow, I am surprised by the pushback from the older crowd in the comments. I'm 64, and I totally agree with you. When the bank was closed during the worst of the pandemic, lots of folks didn't know how to use the ATM machine; they had just thrown out their ATM cards in the past because they knew they could always go into the bank. These same people had no idea how to use their computers or phones to make appointments. I love being around young people and learning about new things. I don't necessarily use the latest in technology, but I am aware of it. Just watched a current interview with 94-year-old Noam Chomsky, who could easily converse with a young teacher about ChatGPT. If you want to pass on your hard-earned wisdom to younger people, you have to be aware of their world and their language.
