I'm watching it. It's still not good. Everyone saying it's suddenly great has Stockholm syndrome.
​
It's much much better than Picard season 1 & 2, 10x better, but that's like going from a 0.1/10 to a 1/10.
​
There are TNG episodes that are 10/10 and the best Picard episode maybe reaches a 3. MAYBE.

The "use a printer at home" threw me for a bit, as clearly everyone on occasion has to print something out, even if its rarely.
People below 65 do it at work. Older people don't have the luxury of stealing office supplies from their work

Eeeeh idk. In Argentina, telegrams are still used for legal/administrative things. For example informing you are going to quit your job.

You’re in the retro activity of not caring about the rules then

This is nuts. Why are so many Americans using checks? Even young Americans! In Australia we are about to kill them off because only about 0.1% of transactions are done using checks. In New Zealand they have got rid of them.

Likely income related in addition to age.

Right but then why is using it at home "retro" and not just using a printer in general?

Who's actually old tho, the respondent sending or receiving a telegram, or the person who created the survey not knowing the existence of the app "telegram"?

Kinda like how the floppy disk is a save button and the instagram logo used to be a Polaroid.

All good points.
I assume you must be right about Telegram vs telegram.

Why would "non-modern audiences" be more generous with Shades of Grey? I'm 40 (is that non-modern?), and I do consider it pointless and pretty stupid.
That said, the worst is The Game.

So either this tells us that propensity to troll online surveys goes down with age, or that a significant portion of people don't know that the app Telegram is named after an actual thing that used to exist

Why is using a printer considered retro? How else am I gonna print out stuff?

I had this exact same thought. I'm 30 and wouldn't even know where to begin to find a place to send a telegram.

Do you think this sample of US adults was 15% Argentine immigrants?
