Did anyone else not buy...

Maybe he worked 60 hours per week and spent his spare time exploring food markets and inventing new recipes and menus.

Flip the 6 upside down and you have a more realistic depiction of the hours he was working...

some people work insteed of living the net!

I don't think its too far fetched to think he knew the Internet but did not know social media.

I am very quick on the Internet, use it all day for my profession, hundreds of web sites yet I don't use social media as the same profession at my level does not permit it. I understand how Twitter, FB, Instagram, Snapchat, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Vine, etc. work but without using it daily you cannot be certain you know every function. Those sites change every day; what you can and cannot do. I was on FB when it first came out only for college students, early 2000's, it's completely different now. It was completely different just a few months after it began.

Btw I am 30 years old. While these days I don't "absolutely" believe in the older people stereotype of misunderstanding the Internet/social media, I do believe I am in the minority being a non-user at my age. And I do think those that grew up without these outlets have a greater chance of ignoring them. So again, I don't think it is unrealistic that he is not social media savvy, especially given his age.

There are some people who choose not to enter into a technological world, and I would tend to think that a chef might be a type of person to be that way.

Before I became an IT professional, sitting in front of a computer for extended periods of time each day, I was a musician for the US Military, and when computers and the internet first started to boom, initially I staunchly decided not to even begin to learn to use computers - not only did I not want to, I didn't see a benefit for me there. Then I decided I wanted to change the course of my life and get out of the military, and going into computers was the method I chose. Otherwise...? Dunno.

I'm in my 40's, don't work nearly as many hours as Carl does and I never got into Twitter. I still don't know how it works. It just boils down to a lack of interest. I would probably need a tutorial, similar to how his son gave to him.

Kojak, bang bang!

Bought it completely. I don't twitter nor do I desire to. FB occasionally with a small group of friends Is enough. Yes..it's very plausible u respond to everyone without knowing. Ahhh some of us do other things than be net aficionados. loved the movie 😀😀

It is not that far fetched to believe he was not up to date on the latest social media fads. I work with people in their late 30s-40s who have no idea what Twitter, Snapchat, Vine, or Tinder is. I would not be surprised if they did not know what the term "viral" really meant either. Hell, I am in my early 30s and still learn new things when my niece and nephew who are in their teens visit.
