I second that, I used to work at this startup in the states where I
was the youngest person by five or six years after those handful of
(relatively young) people, the age gap was about 15 or 20 years (the
geezers). It was a nightmare developing web apps for a bunch of
people who couldn't define the words 'web' or 'app'.
At least with the younger generation (often called digital natives)
they get the basic concepts even if they don't understand the
mechanics.
