“These one-liners have been around for years and they are pretty funny despite the idea seniors can’t use computers. We should be reminded it was people who are now seniors that created all this technology. Most millennials can’t engineer their way out of wet paper bag.”
I started in ‘IT’ in 1975. IBM model 50 traffic records computer was my first assignment. I retired this year at 70 after 20 at IBM. My problem is that I’ve gotten to hate the reliance on tech by many people. People have become increasingly reliant on machines and don’t want to do anything for themselves.
I like GPS but I know how to use a map and compass. I like the cell phones but I don’t block traffic while I’m caught up in my little social media world. It’s gone too far.
I'm with you. I was a software engineer/enterprise architect for 35+ years. I use technology in a limited manner in my personal life. I really don't care for GPS. I like to know where I am going ahead of time. I don't like to be lead around. I'm not big on social media - FR is as close as I get to that. I like to be with friends and family with all devices turned off. Have real conversations that are not asynchronous messages and without interrupts being triggered every 10 seconds.
