is it because the saying u cannot teach an old dog new tricks is quite true?
Seniors have learned from "the school of hard knocks" which is life experiences over far more decades than youngsters who think they know it all, but lack the wisdom of those who have lived so many more years on earth.Often, it is experience. Older people have spent more time figuring out their preferred way of doing things, their preferences, a dependable daily routine etc.
In the case of social media platforms, I personally prefer the features of YouTube and Facebook over Instagram and Tik Tok.
Our leaders keep telling S'poreans that they hear us, but the problem is that they never listen.Just like our old government. Stubborn and never listen? ...

At sex life - Hope their kkj also very stubborn (硬硬固执) ...Depends on what you mean by stubborn and in what context.
At work – Older people are stubborn in the sense they are resistant to changing their ways of working, accepting the opinion of their younger colleagues and embracing new technology. This is often attributed to brain too old cannot learn new things i.e. “Cannot teach an old dog new tricks”.
This I do not agree. From what I can see they seem to have no problems embracing technology and changing their methods when it comes to things like skiving, entertainment, getting porn etc. The main reason for resistance at work is at the end of the day conflict of interest.
Changing their ways of working means they are negating most of their advantage that comes from familiarity in operations. Embracing new technology, new opinion means acknowledging what they know is slowly depreciating in value which means their own worth in the job / company will go down.
They are not against change per se, they are against making themselves redundant, lowering their promotion & increment prospects, reducing the number of people reporting to them etc.
At personal life – I actually find many old people quite open to changes in both hardware and software. However if you want me to narrow down, I would say older people are more “stubborn” in holding on to their world view.
I mean worldview on deeply personal things like cultural affinity, moral values, politics, religion, relationships with different people etc. I find the older we get, the stickier we tend to hang on to our preconceived notions in these areas.
I suppose it is also how many of us keep our sanity and sense of self-recognition when the world constantly changes around us.
They prefer to be tricked by PAP and Chio Bu scammers. Otherwise, how do you explain PPAP winning every election and there were obvious increase of elderly folks being scammed?is it because the saying u cannot teach an old dog new tricks is quite true?
