I think most elderly people like using technologies that were available in their times as they understand them better and are barely interested in new technologies maybe because they don't understand them or know their usage but also because they prefer old ones. When we talk about watching the news or some show, even though they are all available online these days, they would prefer watching them on TV, and if you have a smart TV that is connected to the internet, they would still ask you to put a specific TV show or news channel on it and wouldn't want to watch on mobile or any other gadget.
You say things that make so much sense about this option, and I just look at the facts in my environment where elderly people who have been sitting at home more without leaving the house often are looking for more things like the younger generation now. This is what causes them to rely on TV more often to find out the latest news than others, because apart from that, they also don't really understand today's technology, which makes it difficult for them to use any gadgets. Unless helped by his own child by teaching him until he really gets used to it.
Among younger generations, prefer gadgets more because they provide more convenience. You can't have a TV everywhere while you can carry a gadget anywhere you go providing you the opportunity to be able to watch anything anywhere you are.
As for young people, I no longer deny it because in general young people nowadays will definitely prefer gadgets for whatever needs they want. So I no longer discuss them because I myself rarely watch TV even though I use a gadget that is always connected to the internet, but at certain times when I need to watch, I will also do it because it is not a difficult thing to do. everyone who knows how to use today's technology. But for older people, of course it will be very different from the younger generation so this doesn't need to be compared in my opinion.
