My son recently spent a couple of hours programming my new AT&T cellphone. Computer programming was his profession, before his retirement, from, an agency of the State of Ohio.
I just made my first attempt to use that new AT&T cell phone. It was a complete disaster!
It would be easier to stand, on your head, in a corner, and try to defecate in your vest pocket, than to get that hateful Phone to operate.
It also proves an old adage; ‘You can’t teach an old dog new tricks’.
AT&T sent me this new CF, free of charge. They made this new cell phone mandatory, by rendering their old smartphones obsolete, and inoperable.
My old Smart-Phone had 45, subscribed apps, available for my use. One by one, most of them were, rendered unusable, by AT&T. A large sum of my money down the drain, unrecoverable.
Bluetooth, for hands-free car use, and the camera were the most useful of the apps.
I no longer drive, and don’t need the Bluetooth app, and seldom use the camera.
My candid opinion is; the producers of today’s electronic devices, should strive to make them less, and not more, complicated.
In no way, do I advocate, hindering, our highly intelligent, people, but There are also, far more of us old, folks, that are, forgetful, and easily confused, in this world, that need uncomplicated, electronic devices.
Since I’ve been struck with, 'dumbassity', and declared a curmudgeon, I along with countless others, need help in this matter.
