And I wish that we could stop focussing on the ageism, as if that's the most important point or whether it's even a negative point. I used ageism to reinforce the notion that we should try harder to push for convenient security. It wasn't meant in a pejorative way.
Maybe your point was that ageism isn't acceptable in any form. We'll have to disagree there. I agree that pejorative ageism isn't acceptable, but doing away with ageism entirely is pretending that something real doesn't exist. Sure, not all young people are computer geniuses, and not all old people are computer illiterate -- I never said that, but that doesn't matter because focusing on that just detracts from the core point I was trying to make.
