However it can also send you on a wild goose chase

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.
Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark? Finding the location was all about finding out the right keywords.
Figuring out why a spouse is mad? Again, figuring out the right keywords

You should block his number for 10 days.

He knows where I live

All jokes aside, my mom would definitely call me basically begging me to call my dad because he's driving her nuts. Thankfully remote desktop exists, because trying to guide my dad over the phone was, ehm, painful. Bloody boomers. I'm legally allowed to call my parents boomers, because they are in fact actual baby boomers; born a few years after WW2 ended.

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.
