So almost everything you do on the internet needs a phone and in some cases a smart phone
I don't think this is fair to the older generations

How old does one have to be before one counts as part of the older generations? I'll be 70 this year and I've been involved with computers since 1969 when I was 14; all of my adult life. Am I suddenly going to find myself unable to use my laptops, mobiles, and tablets when I hit 70?
Computers, the Internet, and the Web have been available for over thirty years now, that's a generation. I have been using online banking, for instance, since the days of dial-up access over thirty years ago.
Anyone under the age of ninety was only middle aged, certainly of working age, when computers, internet, and mobile phones were taking off.
Someday we will have to confront the idea that it is neither age nor technology that is the problem but lack of humanity in the system, lack of willingness to treat people as fellow humans instead of mere income streams.
