Political Calculations: When Will You Become Obsolete?
Uh oh. I am in trouble. I will be technologically obsolete at 59.6 and I am currently 58.

In the example, not only is a computer needed, but of course also Internet access. FWIW, AFAIK USPS does not have a rate card online either... well they must, but I couldn't find it. For example, try to find a new rate card for "flats" (large envelopes) up to 1 oz.

Looks like you can accomplish the same thing by by buying a couple of extra cheap cell phones...Amazing to think I'll gain a few years by unsubscribing and not reading a newspaper.

Yeah, I get extra points because I kept my old cell phone so I can reconnect if the current one breaks down but I lost points because I read papers, subscribe to paper, and use a pencil or pen and watch TV. Real useful survey.Looks like you can accomplish the same thing by by buying a couple of extra cheap cell phones...
Heh. Vanguard. Just a few years ago. To their credit, even they've managed to drag themselves, kicking and screaming, into the 21st century now.
Lassie saved little Timmy from the well without a PC, cell phone, or any other modern convenience ...

Yeah, what a bunch of crap (and I have not been accused of overusing that phrase). Next, they are going to say texting 50 words/min proves that a kid's skill is equivalent to a pianist performing in a concert.So programming in five languages is weighed the same as being signed up for five different social media thingees? Hah! I choose not to have those accounts, it's not that I couldn't figure them out.

Amethyst, I can totally relate. A friend to my mother installed on her machine a trial copy of Microsoft Word for Mac, just to see if she liked it. She loved it. I told her I had an extra license for the same program and I would install a legal copy when I visited. All we had to do was delete the trial copy and install the new one. She objected. We can't delete her friends copy, we need to return it to her friend.
I tried to explain, she finally said she understood, but I often wonder.
This was the point at which I noticed him. He was loudly asking (to everyone in general and no-one in particular) what was happening to the Post Office.
I didn't notice today was "make fun of old guys day". Guess I should get a woman to check my calendar for me...
It's interesting how some people adapt to new technologies and others don't. My sister-in-law's father got himself a digital camera and a computer when in his late 70's. He got online about 10 years ago and put himself back in touch with his WWII buddies, contributing his own memories to the website that had been constructed for the ship that he served on. He wasn't what you'd think of as a particularly hip kind of guy - he was very much a man's man. He fished, hunted and went camping. He wasn't a tech type at all, but he was interested in new stuff.I hope I am not making fun. I am continually impressed with my 85 year old mother who is willing to take on this new technological challenge. I hope when I am where she is, I will be as open to new things as she is now!
