Nostr and other tech should not be made for Grandma. Yes I'm aware this is not literal, but I think many VC software firms believe this.
IMO most tech should not be made for Grandma to use. Oversimplification of complex systems just papers over the complexity of the world older generations are not equipped to understand. Its mean for younger generations to assist older generations. Not to mention I think older folks are also not equipped for the stimulation their devices give them, they have become far less social in my experience than us who have learned that the internet and connected devices are a tool and nothing more. It cannot replace the real world no matter how comforting it is.
I've had way too many older family members and friends hurt or nearly bankrupted because they didn't understand how the technology worked. Their naivety leads to their exploitation. I understand this problem is not unique to technology, but it just brings that exploitation to their door step.
