Though I am reluctant to admit it, that is substantially accurate though I do recognize a few of those icons. I have a smart phone but seldom use it. Not being a slave to a smart phone is NOT a bad thing.
I’m in my 70s and know what the apps are for, but have had more trouble texting because I’m clumsy enough I can just do it with one finger…. and reading the small print is impossible without my glasses.
I’m 65 and I know how to use my iPhone, and my Kindle Fire, and my laptop, and my smart TV. This tired joke about old people not being able to use technology might be true in some cases, but it’s not really the norm anymore.

I’m 68 and I know enough not to want at least half of those apps.

Pointless ageism humor. Some of us in our 60s are smart enough to know how to work our smart phones. Change it to over 80 and I might find this funny…

Yea. I’m well over 60 and the youngin’s still come to me for computer and phone help. This is, dare I say it, very ageist.
