T.V. from Hell
If you asked my mom she'd tell you that her one year old Sony HD LCD TV is the spawn of satan with its convoluted remote. Add in the cable TV with its remote and she is confused.
Mom phoned me at work last week to explain that the cable was out - the TV showed only snow. I asked her to check the bedroom TV and tell me if it looked the same, it didn't so I knew it wasn't the cable.
I visited mom this weekend, requested the Sony remote, which involved ten minutes of explanation, secured the correct remote and changed the TV channel from 5 to 3 and voila! picture showing clear.
Technology's become too advanced and challenging for senior citizens. We'll be seniors someday, how will we adapt?
