Fact, While it's true that some older people have embraced technology, the vast majority simply don't get or haven't had the opportunity. Fact, the vast majority of people of that age who lose their sight have things more central to their lives to worry about than computers like using their electric kettle safely, feeding themselves, getting out and avoiding isolation. Finally what evidence do you have to the contrary?" Non, that is why I am not making unproven assumptions. There is no proof all of the above it true, just as there is no proof that all of the above is false. But anyway this is going off topic and is more suitable for a political debating list.
