One should not expect them to be connected, high-tech, or savvy enough to text or to be blogging, which must seem like some sort of newfangled thing that "back in my day," they never had.
Man forventer ikke af dem, at de er forbundende high-tech eller kyndige nok, til at sms'e eller at blogge, der må virke til at være noget nymodens, som de ikke havde "i gamle dage".
