Yes. As scientific studies have shown, all old people everywhere have a paralyzing fear of the internet.

Statistics also show that they are not fond of youths with skateboards and loud music, or people on their lawn.

31

They don't trust technology because robots eat their pills.

P.S. Happy b-day John!

It could be that, but I suspect it's more likely that people in the upper age groups increasingly said "who cares" or "none of your business" when they filled out the registration form and just entered nonsense dates. (I know that's what I normally do in. )

Actually I believe that the older members are probably those who have had computer experience when they were younger, and therefore still keep pace with technology. While it's not impossible for older people to suddenly develop an affinity towards new technology, I doubt those who voted 60+ suddenly became computer savvy within the last 3 years.

65 But much younger at heart.
