Should I Really Join Facebook? For People In The Over 60 Group !!!
6 Answers
When I bought my Smart Phone, I thought about the 20-year business I ran all without a mobile that plays music, takes videos, pictures and communicates with Facebook and Twitter.
I signed up under duress for Twitter and Facebook, so my kids, their spouses, my 4 grand kids could communicate with me in the modern way.
I figured I could handle something as simple as Twitter with only 140 characters of space.
My phone was beeping every three minutes with the details of everything except the bowel movements of the entire next generation.
I am not ready to live like this.
I keep my cell phone in the garage in my golf bag.
The kids bought me a GPS for my last birthday because they say I get lost every now and then going over to the grocery store or library. I keep that in a box under my tool bench with the Blue Tooth [it's red] phone I am supposed to use when I drive. I wore it once and was standing in line at Tesco talking to my wife, and everyone within 50 yards was glaring at me.
as I had to take my hearing aid out to use it, and I got a little loud.
I mean the GPS looked pretty smart on my dash board, but the lady inside that gadget was the most annoying, rudest person I had run into in a long time.
Every 10 minutes she would sarcastically say, "Re-calc-u-lating." You would think that she could be nicer. It was like she could barely tolerate me.
She would let go with a deep sigh and then tell me to make a U-turn at the next lights. Then if I made a right turn instead. Well, it was not a good relationship.
When I get really lost now, I call my wife and tell her the name of the road, and then she starts to develop the same tone as Alice, the GPS lady, but at least she loves me.
To be perfectly frank I'm still trying to learn how to use the cordless phones in our house. We have had them for four years, but I still haven't figured out how I lose two phones all at once and have to run around digging under chair cushions, checking bathrooms and the dirty laundry baskets when the phone rings.
The world is just getting too complex for me. They even mess me up every time I go to the supermarket.
I bought some of those bags for life to avoid them asking do I want bags if they think I look confused, but I never remember to take them with me.
Then it's their turn to stare at me with a blank look. I was recently asked if I tweet. I answered, No, but I do fart a lot."
P.S. I know some of you are not over 60, so I have sent it to you to allow you to forward it to those who are.
I figured your sense of humour could handle it, as we senior citizens don't need any more gadgets, thank you!
The TV remote is enough for me.
