Well I do somewhat get the point you are trying to make here. The problem is that it is about 20 years outdated. In the 1990's technology was thought to be and marketed to primarily 18 to 36 year old males. Not only age-ist, sexist to boot.

But today when the business world speaks of "old people" they are generally referring to the Baby Boomers and they are a huge marketing demographic.

This is the generation thatinvented modern technology and by far most of them not only use it quite adequately, they love exploring it.
