Assuming he has access to a computer, of course.
When my last boss retired 10 years ago, she wanted me to take her out shopping to get a good tablet instead of a full-sized computer. We found her one she liked....
....and she still hasn't added "internet access" to her cable. She complains non-stop about how everything is expected to be done online, but she never bothers to get herself setup.
I've put my wi-fi password in her tablet (and added her tablet MAC address to my wifi allowed devices table) so she can drive over and sit in my driveway if she REALLY needs to find something online. I've shown her where she can go at the local library.
Nope, she still just complains that everything's online and asks me to print out pages for her.
