Nothing to do with age - I'm still a techie who can still design and build stuff yet I struggle getting stuff working for teenage nephews and nieces who are as bamboozled as anyone.
Today's tech tries to be too clever and the designers are obviously geeks who have no social skills nor interaction with real humans. Fluffybunnies really.

@victor-meldrew I dunno, definitely feels like my brain doesn't adjust as easily to change now. Just decided I'm going to keep both going, huawei without sim card, samsung for phoning. I'll feel like a drug dealer or a prostitute with my 2 phones and then I'll feel young an hip again...maybe.

On a serious note, Mrs M (psychologist) tells me your brain changes a lot thru life. Lose some things, gain other things.

Forget about which phone you’re using. Let’s face it, using a Samsung rather than an iPhone is not exactly living outside the matrix is it? We will all go down the hole that is easier to fit in and pretend that we’re not in the same tunnel.
Apart from me.

I'm the serial killer remember? Haven't sold drugs for quite some time, never been a hooker, demand was too low. Just had one or two in the cellar at times.

You're fooling no-one.

On the subject of tech:
Those fucken apps on your phone that don't fuck off when you go to another app.
YouTube, netflix, stan etc. I've finished with you you arsewipe. Don't hang around in the bottom right corner of my screen, I'm done with you for now! It wasn't a mistake, you pushy app bastard, now fuck off till I need you again.
The height of rudeness!😁

Dunno. I think it's actually got worse over the last few years.
A few years ago you could whip out your phone, press a button and take a picture on, say, a Galaxy S2 - now you have to open the app, check settings and tap the right area of the screen. It's a mess.
