My 65, at the time, year old father figured out Android just fine. What point was your n of 1 example trying to make?
Please try to keep in mind there is a wide breadth of technical prowess, thought patterns, and comprehension out there. What works great for some people doesn't for others. Also something to keep it mind being able to "figure something out" or "use it" doesn't necessarily make it a good experience, or an ideal one.
