My son helped me write a computer program for one of my chemistry classes. I don't have a smart phone, so I don't have to ask my grand daughter how to use it. My daughter recently tried to show me how to use an Ipad I had purchased. It was a dismal failure and I returned it.
I readily admit that I'm technologically a dinosaur. I have a 10-15 year old LG flip phone that gets calls and sends calls although I can get text messages, too. I am petrified about having to buy a smartphone. It took me years to figure out the one I have, so if I can't figure a new one out, it's useless to me. Same with my GPS. My old one finally went Bought a new one and it's so complicated that i can't figure out how to add addresses.
