"Might" is doing a lot of lifting there. If you know what ChatGPT is you might also need a funeral home soon - people die at all ages.

I think whoever created that ad is too young. The ad clearly suggests a 3½-inch disk, which came out in 1983 and was still widespread until around 2000-2005. This means plenty of 35-40 year olds used them, who are still decades from likely needing a funeral home.

OTOH, there's probably some 80+ year olds who never used them.

The styling of a 1960s era transistor radio would seem a better fit, but perhaps too ancient for the creatives who came up with the ad.

If you know what a flapper is you very likely died about 40 years ago.
