Tech speakers, it's 2023. Stop using moms as your example of a non-technical audience. It's wrong, its not funny, and whatever you were saying, now most of your audience is not thinking about it.

Just use the exec team as an example instead and get on with your life.

@dymaxion One of my pet hates!! And women speakers do it too! Remember kids, replace the words "my mother", "my mom" etc. in your talk with "my boss", "my CEO" etc..

I love the idea of dunking on the CEO as the most tech-incapable person in the organization. It’s punching up, and in my limited experience, it’s true.

I believe the CEO is the most tech-incapable person because they are too busy to learn stuff. Conversely, the reason young people tend to be better with tech is that they have the time to noodle with it.
