Some perfectly intelligent people just turn off all their braincells and panic when they come into contact with tech that's slightly different to what they're used to, often regardless of age

    Yes, working in tech I've personally encountered this lots and it never stops personally pissing me off. It's a facet of learned helplessness. It's pretty clearly a way to get other people around them to do things for them. They probably don't see it as manipulative but it is, albeit in a pretty minor way.
