    The fact that electronic interfaces keep getting worse and more complicated. It’s basically a race to the bottom at this point. I truly feel for the older generations. I don’t just mean the current older generation, I mean all older generations. As a person gets older, they have a harder time understanding change. And yet the world is basically removing the ability to do things without electronics. When the current group that is 20 years old, when you guys get to be 80, the interfaces will have changed so much, you basically will be screwed.

      I had to go to urgent care the other day and the only way to check in was to scan a QR code and fill out a god awful, half broken form on a random third party website. There were no error messages. The site would timeout if you spent too long on one page, so you’d have to start over. The amount of people who had all sorts of issues is nuts.

      This was “an upgrade”

        Now imagine if you are 85. I do not understand why companies make change for the sake of change.
