It's because they belong to a different paradigm then us. There wasn't nearly as many con men or marketers when they were growing up. If someone said something, it usually was completely true. You and I are very cynical and this helps us to avoid scams in the information age. Technology is intuitive to you and I. To the elderly it's overwhelming. The pace at which this world is changing is overwhelming to them. This leads to easily believing the absurd.
