The generational divide is going to be much more because of the fact that younger people grow up with conveniences that older people did not have. My mom doesn't ride in Ubers, not because she's of a different (implied better) generation than me, but because she's not interested in installing a new app and trying a new service that she doesn't understand on a phone she's still getting used to, and doesn't feel like she needs it enough to even try.

To a large extent that's what has made these services affordable compared to the past.

Yeah I have an aunt in DC that just figured out Ubers. She rode in cabs until last year (she has mobility issues that preclude transit, sadly)
