  • Had a moment today where a modern life tech thing baffled me (online access type thingy), and I got frustrated (eventually solved it). I’m not that old but I’m not young either. It used to be utterly effortless to keep up with the latest life admin requirements, but am finding that occasionally I now feel out of the loop. Is this the tip of the iceberg? I don’t want it to be. I don’t want to age and become useless at new stuff that comes out. I Do. not. like. It.














  • I mean there are reasons these services are used, like wanting to know how many steps we took, engaging with peers, know where other people are located etc. Not saying it’s all doom and gloom. Just observing that it used to be that you could go around walking, sleeping, shopping, socialising and watching movies without data being collected for every tiny life detail. It’s just different, that’s all. For younger people it’s normal, but for older people it feels… I dunno, like something has been lost that will never be gotten back.
