Older people may be unfamiliar with modern conveniences. Pray that you do not fall victim to the same curse!

Because she was told at some point, likely. Think about it; you just bought a strange machine and you want to be really careful with it because it's modern and expensive-looking. So you don't push random buttons to see what they do, because you don't want to break it. Pray you do not fall victim to the same curse!

The alternative approach is to push absolutely every button the moment you get it in a deliberate attempt to break it. If you cannot break it, keep it and be happy in the knowledge you've purchased a quality product. If you can break it, return that shit for something better.

You can't use this method on smartphones though. You'll always freak-out the touchscreen require reboot.

Mine didn't know that you could move files. Or where to plug a USB into.
