As would a good old google search (or any other search engine).I cannot count the number of times my dad called me for some problem he was having. Had been searching all day, never finding anything worthwhile. I typically find whatever he was looking for within 2 minutes. Two or three keywords and the first hit is often what he needed. It's all about using the right keywords to find what you're looking for.
Finding the right keywords is the biggest problem on searching for anything.
You should block his number for 10 days.
He knows where I live
Ahahahahaha then you are luky. My father use the smartphone only for set timers when take pills (I set timers, not him). This is all the technology he use. I installed Alexa, it lasted less than a minute "Take that thing and throw it away" he said.
Being Gen-X is fun, getting to provide tech support for Boomers and anybody born in the current millennia. It kind of amazes me that kids today might actually be worse at using technology than the Boomers were.
TBF, Boomers are really uneven in terms of technology, a bunch of the most important bits of technology were created by Boomers, and then you've got ones that think that everything is computer. And then refuse to engage with it at all unless forced to.
I agree with this. There is no virtue in knowing zillion different formats and doing things the hard way when there is no rhyme or reason for this.
TBF, *most* of the tech you young pups rely on was created by boomers!
The vast majority of it is either younger Boomers or older Gen X. In terms of being able to sit down at a random computer and get stuff done without training, that tends to be more of a younger Gen-X/older Millennial skill set.
