For some elderly people it isn’t just about learning how to use technology. It’s about losing human contact. The bank teller might be the only person they speak to all day. All week even
Also, there is a lot on the news about older people
Getting scammed out of their life savings on the internet and that puts many off technology too.

Financial abuse is restricting people from accessing their money to control them or so you have control over the money. I see it everyday. Some people don't even realise it's happening to them.
Your situation here is fear of change. Not liking being forced into something new. Where my DM, who's 70, jumps in, my IL's, in early 60's, whinge bitterly & refuse. It's a choice, not abuse. You can't hold back progress forever!
