Feel like the inverse is more apt: where old people go, the young run the fuck away from.

“Where young people go, older people follow,” Raghavan said.
Yeah, I hate it when grandma sends a bunch of snaps rather than posting to Facebook.
“Nobody wakes up every morning and says I have to run a Google query,” Raghavan testified.
No, but during the day I search (duckduckgo) for various issues at work, and at home for all sort of personal information (what’s that restaurant’s menu/phone number?, I need a schematic for washing machine, I even search prices to print a poster at Staples vs. Walmart vs. the UPS Store but used search engines to look at various local options too).

The only backing to their first claim is that young people were on Facebook first and then the audience generalized. Younger people tend to be earlier adopters.

I use Google to spellcheck because predictive text can’t spell. What a time to be alive.

I am also guilty of doing this fairly frequently. What’s ironic is that I use Gboard and its predictive text is hot garbage at times while Google will predict what I need almost immediately.
