My wife and I started talking about this after she had to help an old lady at the DMV figure out how to use her iPhone to scan a QR code. We're in our early 40s.

There was an intern at my work who is a junior in college and going for a business degree. I had to teach her how to copy stuff from excel and enter it into salesforce. I was going to teach her how to do mass sf imports, but there was no way she was going to figure that out and it was more trouble than it was worth….so I kept her busy by sending her sf updates to enter manually. That’s all she was good for. More trouble than it was worth to teach her anything else.
