Sorting via papers, I got here throughout Joan Bundtzen’s letter, almost definitely submitted to ADN closing yr. Like Joan, I’ve now not simplest spotted that issues are tougher to do within the pc age however to find maximum irritating, complicated and on occasion even not possible. I too lived in more practical instances, like whilst you hung laundry to dry on out of doors clotheslines, watched TV totally free, may name an airline and get round-trip tickets, as a substitute of one-way, every with a unique value, that didn’t value $15 additional since you did it by means of telephone.  

Now I’m an “elder” who isn’t adept at electronics like computer systems and mobile phones. Frankly, I don’t need to be. We are actually punished for looking to get one thing carried out by means of paper or telephone or in individual, the way in which I grew up with. We’re both charged additional charges for now not doing issues on-line or we need to scrounge round for one thing on paper, just like the Everlasting Fund dividend software, or to find out you can’t do it in any respect.  

Now there’s impossible-to-understand “streaming” cable TV, which was once compelled upon us, or haven’t any TV in any respect. I’ve requested GCI repeatedly what, precisely, “streaming” is and not understood their resolution. Now I feel what it method is that my TV is now a pc and tv reception comes via that come what may. In fact, it will movement via my laptop pc as a result of I needed to have one to have Yukon put in, however I’m now not certain. Woe to me if I didn’t have a pc.  

By means of the way in which, I don’t Skype both, as a result of I want the old fashioned manner of speaking by means of telephone, mail, or in individual. It’s pointless to even consider that those massive firms and tech corporations would supply easy-to-understand-and-use-services, particularly for older folks. As my loved brother would say, “Welcome to The usa!”
