    You joke.

    I had a hardcore boomer who worked mainframes - he was a mainframe wizard - refuse a redundancy payment (at age 60 - would have been a year plus wages). He was told if he didn’t take it, he would be moved to a team elsewhere. He shows up in my team and I had to teach him how to do copy paste. Then the shortcuts blew his mind.

    He still used a pen and paper to change passwords (kept a small pile of them on his desk, and none were labeled but that’s another story).

      I highly doubt that was a joke. It is unsettlingly common among even those who use computers daily.
