They do not. Between ages 50 and 70, many are capable of learning but are selective about what they embrace. They adopt what is useful and resist what feels invasive. Over 70, most experience technological fatigue. They have seen revolutions come and go—radio, television, the internet—and this latest one feels less like a tool and more like a takeover.There will always be a small group that stays on the cutting edge. These are the ones who test, question, and adapt. They view AI as an instrument, not a threat. But for the overwhelming majority, rapid change creates resistance, and resistance breeds friction. That friction does not stay confined to classrooms or workplaces; it spills into culture and politics.The political upheaval we see today is not just about party labels—it is...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/115-XsjkdwCpJ99xv-8oZ76t6jr8ScWEC5MYSKzL0ig/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS82MTUx/OWRiNTc0NTk0Y2Nk/M2VjYTliMGVhN2Zm/YTZkZi5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
