I do not regard myself as āoldā. I am reasonably ātech savvyā - owning & frequently using an iPhone & ipad ( on which I ran a ābusinessā employing a team of 11+ carers for my disabled son)
BUT
yesterday my husband had organised a surprise trip to London (dinner & theatre) - heād gone to the station earlier in the day to buy the tickets from the ticket office - having had previous issues with the wretched ticket machine. He asked at the ticket office about car parking &was told youāll have to pay at the machine in the car park.
So we prepared for the surprise and drove to the station car park only to find there is no pay machine - only way to pay is via app or phone - when calling the number they ask for locator number - itās not on the board - itās on a sign some distance from the board - this whole process to completion took over 15 minutesš±š³š”
How do they expect people without a smart phone cope?
What if we become a cashless society?
Many aspects of todays life require some tech involvement
Or am I just an old Luddite ?
And one previous contributor wonders why people come across as angry - or is it frustration?
