I don't know your wife but it is likely that she's not as future oriented as you are. To appreciate the potential of Steem, you need to see far beyond its present state.

Most people only have a vague idea of how pernicious entities like Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Netflix and Google are. They only know they offer all kinds of convenient services to them free of charge. The costs escape many because they are diffuse and affect us on a collective level. 

Interestingly, when I went to Suolijärvi in Hervanta to shoot some pics last Sunday, two elderly ladies happened to come from the dressing room of the winter swimming place as we all happened to be leaving the place at the same time. When they saw my camera, they asked me if I was going to post my pictures to social media like Instagram. I had to hold my horses so as not to go into a tirade. But I was pleasantly surprised by their awareness of how Facebook manipulated election results in Britain (I had to fill in some details for them, but they were generally aware of what FB was up to). By being on Steem, I'm not supporting that shit but without having to be cut off from the internet like @smallsteps. :)

This is the case and not overly "technologically interested".

Most don't really care as long as they can do things easily. The greater ramifications of convenience are lost.

I think people are starting to wake up though as it is getting more media attention and I reckon that behavior changes are going to increasingly take focus in the coming years as people raised by the internet are challenged in unexpected ways.
