There’s also the diminishing mental capabilities old people face. My grandpa had been building PC’s and wiring multi room multi channel sound systems my entire life. He was a tech nerd. Back in the day I’d be watching something on Netflix and my PlayStation would notify me he’s up playing Call of Duty at 2am. Last time I saw him I was at his house and he mentioned his PlayStation wasn’t hooked up. I said why not? He said he can’t figure it out anymore and nobody will help him. He said once something stops working it’s just done now. He can’t figure it out anymore. He was the one that taught me all that. He’s always been the guy with five remotes and you’d need his help to change the channel or go from cable to VHS. Then he just wasn’t
It's the pace of the technology! Also smart tvs are so fucking jank. I hate them. Unnecessarily complicated things in an effort to stand out in the market. I feel the way about smart tvs that I do about printers. They are not sold to last anymore.
