This was also my thought. I find it hard to believe that 65+ years old don't use navigation on their phone when driving, or googling even basic information.


Mom has seen GPS nav on my phone, but she’s too frugal to let me get her one. She has a feature phone that’s only on when she leaves home.

I got her a cheap laptop and she does have cable internet (and knows the difference between being online and having an outage), so she’s pretty much where I was in 2005 when 3G was almost unusable. I can imagine her getting by without them, just like they did in 1990.


Is it a coincidence that 25% is also in the same ballpark as the percent of people 65+ that don’t have a drivers license?

But besides that, someone who got their license before 1972 would have spent almost 3/4 of their life driving without GPS.
