The important part is that she asked you why you used a "computer"
because, like millions of users, she don't make difference between
computer and window$ (i.e. OS). People will rarely explicitly state
that, of course, but when I speak to some people, I see that they
sincerely assume that.

That reminds me of a typical brainwashing sencence from window$: when
you want to press the reboot icon, the text over your mouse will tell
something like "Shut down and start Windows again"; the sencence
contains an explicit equalisation of machine and window$.

So I'd say this has nothing to do with one's age.
