Holly, I'll be 65 a month from tomorrow. Thinking back to when we grew up in
the 50's, 60's and 70's, it's amazing how much access we have in the iphone
with all we can do, it's like magic compared to then. I too, was hessitant
about whether I could get use to a touch screen. I partly thought I could
get use to it due to in 2 different stores getting to see an iphone and
getting to see what it was like to navigate the screen. One time was back
in 2012 or 2013, one of the sales guys in an at&t store showed me his iphone
and showed me how to dial a phone number on the screen and he did put voice
over on for me. The second time was when Wayne and I went to the verizon
store in the summer of, I think it was 2017, my birthday and I purchased a
flip phone that I wanted and and that was the day that we saw the se phone.
The salesman showed us a little bit and we just played with it for about 45
minutes, we loved the size of the phone. It was kind of funny in away, not
knowing too much what we were doing when we found some music that began
playing or could find something on the screen to read it was really great.
For me the phone won't totally replace my computer, nor will the ipad we
have. Though I would never say I would never do any of the same things I do
on the computer that I haven't done yet, because you never know from day to
day what you'll decide to learn. A few things I'm thinking of now is looking
into recording some tv shows on our cox contore app and also getting dropbox
on my phone. Last year at this time I wasn't even thinking of that, thinking
it's fine enough that I'm doing it on the computer. I also think there's too
much of a big to do about the ages of people, that if you're in you're
60's, even more so in your 70's and 80's that using a smart phone is too
difficult for people around those ages. I just think for everyone it's a
very individual sort of thing of what you take too or what you don't. The
membership here on this group is a great example with some in their 70's and
some in their 80's. On the other hand, there might be some younger
individuals that prefer using flip phones, maybe not many, but what anyone
prefers is such an individual thing. I didn't mean to make this so long and
I did respond to you, Holly, so I hope I can be orgiven for this time
changing the subscribing thread subject line.

Subject: Re: how do I unsub from this list
Thank you Arleen:
I am old too, but still try to keep up with the technology that helps us
live more independent lives.
I was very scared at first with my iPhone, which I have had now for over
two years, but now don't know how I lived without it.
Whenever I have a question, I just Google the question and can probably
find the answer I need.
So, we old folks still need to learn new things to keep the brain cells
stimulated. Hahahaha.
I don't think the iPhone will ever replace my PC, but it is sure a great
addition.
Holly
