Thanks!
I think your post was unnecessarily condescending. There are many people in this world who have no wish to embrace all the new technologies and are making their way quite happily with software such as Windows 7 which is more than adequate to handle the requirements of the average person, and even use flip top phones instead of smart phones.

My other half had a position in his working career that afforded him a secretary - who fielded all his calls, a travel department who knew exactly how he liked to travel on business, various assistants in the office to take care of things he needed doing. He is now quite happy to make his way through a computer which is simple and easy to understand. It's a bit annoying for me because I am the techi in the family and I have to constantly be aware of his shortcomings in learning anything new, but I can get around it without dismissing him as less than intelligent.
