I think inability to learn new things for old people goes hand in hand with how you lived your life. My father has never used an ATM. They've been around long enough that he wasn't old when they came out, but he always went to a teller. It's no wonder that he won't try and learn how to use a streaming device now that he is in 80's.
The traditional things that people used to do are growing more and more expensive. My father misses the plain old telephone system, but my friend pays $94 a month for POTS and won't give it up. The newspaper is $500 a year now. Out west they charge you to go to a teller. Television is very expensive today if you can't receive things on an antenna.
