It's funny you mention that because just the other day I was serving a customer in his late 60's and how he got to talking of trying to get into using his mobile phone and PC better than how he can currently. He mentioned how he uses his mobile and PC for just the basics and I tell him the same when it comes to my mobile phone with the exception of my PC which I use every day but also use for gaming, apart from that I offered to teach him sometime (because I volunteer at a local public computer club up my road to help the elderly or the tech Luddites to use their PC's for general use but also other tech they bring as well) but I also told him I feel the same way about mobile phones in the regards that in the old days people just used them to talk and message one another, not take selfies and browse the web etc.
I think I'll always be that guy who just sees his mobile for messaging and calls no matter what it does, I'm just old fashioned in that area of the tech industry.
Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.
