Dude, we are not in the 1950s. Just last week I watched a 70yo woman pay for her groceries using her phone via NFC for example. Some of us didn't learn how to manage money from our parents. I was lucky - I did. Some of us don't have access to all the tech. We are behind on connectivity in rural areas, but consider how large the U.S.A. is compared to most nations combined with the over-developed profit motive here.
I'm growing weary of the global pastime of denegrating America and Americans based on stereotypes. It's as bad as some of us denegrating places like France for similar reasons. If you think you're better than us, guess what - you're proving you are not. We're all fundamentally the same, with different histories.
