    Well then use this as a teaching moment and elaborate then?

    I live in a country that uses the King’s English, not the American version so please enlighten me - I do enjoy learning.

    But don’t say there are an amount of errors without even trying to quantify them….given the burden of proof rests with you.




  • I just read it myself, as a “mature age” student at University in 2024 I have often sarcastically asked some of the 18-21 cohort in the class if they need the old person to show them how to use a computer when they don’t even know that a “program” for a PC/Mac is just another word for “app” even the teachers look shocked when you hear most of the class nod in agreement about not knowing what software actually is and that it can be installed without an “App Store”.

    I think the thing is most people just see computers and tech as just another appliance the same as a microwave and to know anything more than “turning it on and off again” is just seen as far too nerdy or a waste of time when they can get on the internet and read their influencers on social media or just watch YouTubers instead….

    But they are the first to complain when “the internet doesn’t work!!”

    That blog could have been written today!!
