Speaking of parents and trying to get them to use tech. My mother picked up her iPhone the other day (she only uses it for phone calls), and says (roughly) "hey, did you know that the time is displayed on the phone?" And this is on the lock screen.
Many times on a phone call I hear her say "I hate this new tech", and yet it is always: call such and such for me, or text such and such and tell them to pick up some grocery while they are out, or is such and such on their way home and where are they now?
