Some older people are good at technology, like my nan, but my grandad is absolutely terrible at it,
00:04
and I don't think it's sometimes fair when you actually have to order food on a menu via phone,
00:10
when it's my grandad, and he can't do it, but my nan can, so it depends on the person, really, doesn't it?
00:15
I think, yeah, tech is leaving a lot of the elderly behind that's not actually got the same tech interactions with all younger people.
00:22
Like, my mum, if I get, she couldn't do internet banking, so I had to do all that.
00:25
Watching my dad use, like, his phone, or, like, saying to me, like, oh, what's a TikTok? I'm like, oh.
00:31
So sometimes you just, it's just kind of how the world works, I guess.
00:35
Actually, the older generation I know seem to have embraced tech, and they're really, probably better at it than I am.
00:40
That old cliche of don't give dad the TV remote control, I'm not sure that exists anymore.
00:46
My parents, certainly, they're all over the smartphones, they're all over socials, they're loving it.
00:51
Maybe their memory will be, like, deteriorate, but it's very good for them to, like, to embrace the new technology.
