I know many pensioners (I am surrounded by them, as we live in a
slightly odd road, with a mix of housing - our house is semi-detached,
2-storey, while our neighbours on one side and all down the opposite
side of the road have bungalows, plus our relatives, relatives of
friends, etc.). Only a tiny proportion drive, but do not have
broadband or a smartphone. ...
That does demonstrate an urban mindset. It is very difficult to live in
rural areas without a car and those are the areas where broadband
service is worst.
It does not need a high speed connection to login and update a mileage
figure. With a smartphone it can always be done on the phone and it can
transmit when you happen to be somewhere with a signal.
