For a long time I have prided myself on being at the forefront of technology. I seem to have the latest version of most technological items and I have a pretty high level skills in using my phone or computer (especially for my age). I realize now that I have been deluding myself. I chose to define technology as the things that I was good at (android, excel, powerpoint etc) but in reality there are whole areas in which I am as clueless as a 90 year old on an Iphone X. I don't really understand social media in particular instagram, twitter and snapchat. I can't operate "video games" (I don't think they are even called that anymore) and I don't do streaming on youtube or its competitors. If further proof is needed this blog demonstrates how stuck I am in the technology of the 90s. I have to accept that in fact as I get older there are new things that I will just not put in the effort to learn. It doesn't matter how much we try we are all doomed to obsolescence at some point. Counter intuitively, accepting it probably helps to delay it.
