My wife and I started talking about this after she had to help an old lady at the DMV figure out how to use her iPhone to scan a QR code. We’re in our early 40s.

    My family got its first PCs in the mid-80s.

    My mother was a huge part of training people how to use PCs. She would drive a night computer lab (RV with 7 PCs) to business and train all the employees in his to use them as they began adopting the technology, and as the moved on she became a leader in information technology and project automation in the engineering world.

    Her long, successful career was all very technical. She was an inspiring person who adopted new technology a decade ahead of time and never feared the future.

    Now she can’t operate the TV remote or her cell phone without cussing about all this damn confusing technology.
