No it isn't.

Do a survey of the whole population, you will find that octogenarian internet knowledge is less than the rest of the population. Therefore pick one of them, it is more likely they know less. Note that I did not say it is definitely absolutely true in her case. So people's reading comprehension is lacking.

It is also more likely that someone with an arts degree knows less than someone with a computer science education.

And if you still don't get it, it is also not discrimination to say that octogenarians are more likely to know more about pre-internet communications than teenagers.
