My grandparents are in their 90s and don't have internet access.
Visiting them and talking current events is fascinating, as they are essentially acting as the control group for what happens to your brain if your only filter to the outside world is shitty Canadian biased cable news.

I know so many people like this, it's unreal.
Afraid to step outside after the sun goes down, don't dare leave anything unlocked - not even an upstairs window - but still on board with the every bit of diversity and immigration there is.
I ask them "Who is going to do that?", and their best answer is "Anyone!"
And then, the kicker, is when they say "When I was young we didn't have to lock anything! You could leave everything wide open on a hot summer night!"
