My mom is 60 years old and has called me more than once to help her turn off the flashlight on her phone. My sister in law is 32 and still calls my husband every time her laptop needs an update to make sure she “does it right” (and thank goodness because some of those were definitely scams).
I think a lot of tech developers overestimate how quickly large portions of consumers will take up new technology, especially something this complex/intrusive/physically large. If an excellent prototype came out tomorrow, I think it would still be 15-20 years before it was in a majority of middle- and upper-income households.
