Technophobia!
This week we had our youngest grand child staying overnight and, as that age group seem to be so clued-up, she mentioned the set-up of our TV.We had the SKY broadcast - and other that went off the screen, despite my trying to work out why and she commented on that.
Tinkering about today I could not work out how to change it until I thought " Maybe I can change the SKY Settings?"
Of course, navigating through SKY's SETTINGS is a minefield unless you know how to access some settings - which I do - so, after fiddling for 5 mins trying to work out how to get to the right Menu, I hit two buttons in exasperation that brought it up!
TV now set up properly - at last - and my wife's saying "Why didn't you look at that before?"

The problem is that manufacturers of all the latest widgets automatically assume that we ALL have a certain level of knowledge when it comes to electronics.
I was quite well-up on all things electronic / computerised but I was in jobs that dealt with technology all the time so you learn as you adapt.
Take that away and the old memory starts to mix things up and hey-presto, you're an old git who can't even set-up a 'phone!! stevmk2
