My good buddy from high school saw my 3 and loves it-no surprise. So now he wants one but he has never used a computer (we are near 70 years old) will that be an issue for my friend (never used computer not being 70) what are your thoughts-I have my own thoughts but I want him to enjoy his car.
What do you think?
At this point, if someone is 70 years old but has "NEVER' used a computer (if thats actually true) then the likely answer is "no, not appropriate" because they would have had to go out of their way to not use a computer at this point, intimating an active dislike of that type of technology.
I am 54, and we had access to computers in high school (and I went to a regular high school in a middle class area, not one in a wealthy area). Its my opinion that one would have had to actively avoid using some sort of computer during their working career, regardless of occupation, to be 70 right now and "NEVER" have used a computer.
Now, if its "didnt buy a computer because they didnt feel they needed one", or "never bought a computer because they used them at work, and then got a smartphone and it did everything they wanted", thats different.
Being comfortable with "something different, technologically?" is the important thing, and also the basic understanding of how a tablet works (touch this, swipe that, this likely opens a menu for X, etc etc).
The advice in a recent thread about "is a tesla good for an 80 year old" is the same advice thats applicable in this thread. That thread is here:
My aunt is 91 and still drives ( albeit less). We got her a 2 yr lease in case she felt she was done with driving or could just keep getting a new lease . she is very comfortable in her chevy equinox ( the suv is very easy to get in an out of- that was a big factor) , push the "push to start"...

Same situation, basically.
