Digital Ageism

[Aussie105]

18. Wife sits real close to the TV

and has given up driving because of her bad eyesight.

She never took to social media and gets me to read out emails addressed to her, but she prefers voice calls.
And those have been getting fewer and fewer.
She rings them, but most are on the other side of the world, so she has to stay up really late to call them in daytime hours.

She wonders why few ring her, and I'm guessing her relatives wonder why she doesn't respond to emails.

Some of us oldies feel disadvantaged by modern communication technology, and rightly so.
Too new, too complicated, too dependent on good eyesight.
