This shit sounds like when you’re mom tells you that the Facebook printed out her bank statement on the tax machine.

My dear sweet mother asked me somewhere around 2005-06 "If we can fax paper, why not groceries, or pizza delivery?"

Apparently she had believed, for decades, that fax machines literally transported physical paper over phone lines. She has a college degree, and my family is wealthy.

Do not underestimate the mind boggling technical and scientific ignorance of old people who should know better.
