Yes it can be harder for the elderly, though it depends on your mentality. My mother is so old that she has never even used a computer! OR a smart phone. I try to teach her the basics on my phone and she is gradually getting it. I am probably your parent's age already so our generation from the late sixties birth years are lucky to have caught the internet age still. Your generation is on a totally new level of course. But we will all become the elderly one day as progress marches onward, leaving a lot of us behind...unless we make an effort that is.
