I see the ageism is strong as ever :|
I quite like that they have included a special interaction, because there are probably a lot of (not all, of course) elders who are not greatly tech-minded, having not grown up surrounded by tech stuff. To me, this is only along the same lines as people asking for walking canes for elders, and other special interactions which are more common in that age group.
As for people saying there is nothing for teens, I guess the HSY pack added quite a lot for them and EA expect people to buy that pack if they want teen stuff. I hope they have included at least a couple of little things dedicated to teens for people who don't want to/cannot buy HSY.
It's kind of funny to me, because when flip phones first came out, it was my mother-in-law who taught me to use one.
That said, while I can use my smartphone just fine, having been around computers since the days they filled a room and monitors looked like typewriters, my kids tend to adopt new apps and features first. So they do explain those to me sometimes. But they are the ones who come to me if they need desktop or printer advice. I'm the only one in the family who can stop and restart the spooler when a print job gets "stuck".
oh they totally should have "let your mom/dad show you how this work" interaction too if we go this route
its funny to me how my mom and dad seem to handle about every machine and household appliance on earth no problems with complete confidence all "how could you not know how this works"
but then phone computer and the printer are suddenly complete mystery to them :lol:
