    Ask any person above the age of, say, 40 (I’m not looking this up, but in Western countries that should suffice to qualify for ‘most’ pople) what an app is, exactly. I wonder what the response will be.

      Lol, 40 years old elder here. Last year, my college mandated me to create a new course on how to use a computer because most of our new students can’t figure out how to install a plugin. The young generation is way less tech-savvy than they think they are, trust me on this.

      Idk, but I think you’d have to go a lot higher have that. Like, your parents know what an app is. Maybe your grandparents don’t, but mine do. So I think it would basically have to be like people over 70 or something

        So you’re saying, when Trump says “most people” he means "me " but has to make it sound like he’s not alone in any thinking ?
