But how does it even make sense? I would have said I was 99% confident he used two apps all the time over the years. First, ex-Twitter, and now his own social-network-which-shall-not-be-named.
I know a few older people who have smartphones, and while they can use things like Twitter or Facebook on the phone, if you told them that you were installing an app, they wouldn’t know what you meant.
They’re the type of people who were never interested in computers, and used them as appliances, possibly never needing to install things themselves. As they moved to phones, they either get their kids or the shop to set them up.
They understand using Twitter on the phone, but don’t really understand the concept of how it works.
Those aren’t ‘apps’ to him – they’re pictures he presses on his phone that let him do something.
My theory: he was recently in a conversation with someone about an app he doesn’t use, and they had to explain the concept to him. They probably complimented him when he seemed to understand enough, since he’s surrounded exclusively by sycophants, so in his mind he’s proud to be smarter than most people about this.
We’ve seen this exact scenario play out before. He’s so predictable.

That sounds like most people around me, regardless of age.
