It can be so complicated. And when it doesn’t go right, so aggravating.

Open the address book? She is stuck in the 90s.

In an interview I made some disparaging remarks about AI. I’m not anti-technology, I am anti-hype.

Things really a lot simpler now, just right click and then click “share”. Or calling always works. My question to her would be, “Why are you so pro technology?!!” Then, for good measure, “I bet you can’t even write in cursive anymore.”

for some people, it is much like trying to learn a foreign language. They simply do not want to try or are anxious about messing something up in the effort.

I would do that with about 3 clicks

A joke in the inbox can be revisited and shared to social media.

That’s how I feel about texting. Just call!!

When we were in college in the mid 1970s he would copy my computer homework. We were learning to program a main frame computer. I had taken a course in high school also, though in a different “language”.

Now he is our webmaster and keeps our computers going. I have software I like and does not have newer versions so he manages to keep it working by setting a “virtual XP machine” in my desktop and my laptop for me.
