separation issues
One of the things I find about Germans in general is their separation of tasks and issues along gender and age lines. To this day, my elder German relatives tell me that the Coke I'm drinking is a child's drink...and because I do the cooking, that that is woman's work. So I get derided by my relatives about being so different! Germans love to categorize things...and there are things that only certain people do and others will never do...This is a distinct culture thing. So, if the internet is for the "younger folk" then that's a child's game and not to be used by the older folk...simple as that!
