If you are in your forties, fifties, maybe even sixties, you probably think the Senior population acts like technology is a dirty word that should never be used in polite society. When you get in your senior years you might have a different perspective. It isn’t technology itself, but when combined with obsolete. It indicates to the senior that they haven’t even had time to grasp the technology of the thing they can’t get to work, and now it has become obsolete.
Technology is just too swift for us, our brain doesn’t have enough time to register this new item. We haven’t got past “mode” in the OWNER’S MANUEL.
This is especially true in the entertainment field. Most people in their senior years can still be highly entertained by becoming engrossed in a good book, and exciting game of Bridge, or Scrabble, or even a jigsaw puzzle. A great deal of entertainment comes from the screen, if not in a movie theatre then on the television. The Senior gets out the OWNER’S MANUEL to study the proper way to make the VCR work. The senior just about gets it, and actually gets a movie to work maybe once out of five attempts. He is starting to be a little comfortable with it, when he discovers it is obsolete and now everything is DVD.
He could call a friend, but it has so many features he needs to look through the OWNER’S MANUEL to complete the call. Is there an OWNER’S MANUEL for us, we know we are becoming obsolete.
