Anyone Else Get Kerfuffled With Modern Day Technology?

[nailit]

As much as I enjoy the benefits of the internet, the rest of it goes over my head. Everything seems to be online whether its banking, shopping or sharing a photo. Driving with an onboard computer is alien to me (my foodbank van has all sorts of bleepers, sounds and screens for this that and the other etc which frankly stresses me...I turn it off). Everything seems to be moving at a pace that I cant keep up with.
Please, someone tell me that they feel the same, I feel like an oddball at times having to ask how this or that works because quite honestly, I cant do with it all.
Maybe its an age thing!

With tech you just need to read the instructions

No it's really not, I am young and I get it. We have an intruder alert thing for the garden as well as the house house here and I keep setting it wrongly ( you can do it by height) and it goes off and it goes off because an animals tripped it and I terrify myself. I was on my own the other night and it happened,absolutely nearly died.

[nailit]

//No it's really not, I am young and I get it//

[nailit]

I think you misunderstood Kvlad's post, nailit.

[ummmm]

Straight over my head as well. I'm also very impatient.

[nailit]

//I think you misunderstood Kvlad's post, nailit.//
Quite possibly Talbot. See? All this goes over my head....
I don't get it.

I get cross with things that used to be simple now having more functions than a nuclear sub and needing the same amount of instructions.

[spathiphyllum]

They should have instructions for instructions i guess ;)

[fraser]

You not alone nailit, I can't handle the technology either whether it be phone,computer and even a microwave!! Let's keep things simple!!

[kvalidir]

I meant it wasn't just and age thing Nailit because I also get (problems with) it and I'm young, hence scaring myself *** with the stupid alarm :) x

[nailit]

Why cant life be simple again? Everything ruled by computers...all communication, all business, all banking and increasingly all social interaction!

[nailit]

//hence scaring myself shitless with the stupid alarm//
How did the word //***// get pass the censore ?
Is there a real person on this site to censore? (or spell check)?
Its a frightening thought that *** gets through a spell check on a family site...…...

[Theland]

Me too. I like to solve problems with nuts and bolts, things I can see.

[nailit]

Just going to try it for fun..
