I think most all of us here on Lemmy are people with technical background. Most of my professional contacts remained using Reddit, Twitter and even excited when Threads launched.

Wastewater Operator. We have an older gentleman at my job who refuses to use computers at all. We still do everything with paper and pen. Nothing is digitized.
Curious, how does this dude get through life when he needs to pay bills or do literally anything?
Probably literally mails them with postage, spending money on stamps and such.
Nowadays you can be like “oh shit my bill is due, gotta open up my finance app to pay the bill.” Before it was the same but you had to remember 3 business days in advance for the postage delivery times.
Yeah, but unironically, mailing a check is great if you don’t want to install an app or sign a digital “monetize me, Daddy” agreement just to make a one-time payment to a company that already knows your mailing address. I usually pay rent and utilities that way, because I can just drop it through the office mail slot, and I don’t have to pay a processing fee to use their sketchy online payment system. Cheaper for me, probably a good laugh for the staff, and not difficult.
