I first started using computers in 1972 when a machine with a fraction of the power of a smart phone filled an entire room and had to be programmed with punched paper tape - but over the last ten years or so the pace of innovation has increased exponentially and I can no longer keep up. And “living on the computer, tablet and smart phone” is just so unhealthy - there’s a real world out there still to explore!

Get his info, log into his account, fill in the items and make the reservation for him. It’s not a third party booking that way.
I didn’t have his ID to complete the verification process.

You are making an awful lot of assumptions.
Yes, there are a lot of assumptions flying around here and also something that most of us here tend to frown upon - stereotyping.
Many older people have been using ‘modern’ stuff for decades. Someone in their twenties has probably only been using a computer or cellphone for ten or fifteen years or so. Many of the people who pioneered the technology we use today are knocking on quite a bit too.
We shouldn’t assume that because someone is older and can’t manage to do something, that all older people are similarly inept. Many are not.
