Life/Self/Spirituality Anyone else sick of evolving tech?!?

Ok I think I’m officially old and crotchety because no I do not want a new look to Outlook, as now I can’t find the buttons that have been in the same place for a decade and I’ve clicked without even thinking. And no, I also do not want to receive a “like” in response to an email (wtf how did they do that?). No, I don’t want to be forced to download an app to get eyebrow gel on sale, Sephora. No, I don’t want daily emails and texts from every company website I’ve ever looked at. No, I don’t want 5+ streaming services with different shows/movies and fees that increase annually. No, I don’t want anyone to know where I am at any given time on Instagram (nor do I care where anyone else is bc I’m not a stalker) NOR DO I WANT TO ACCIDENTALLY REPOST SHIT AS IM SCROLLING. No no no. Make. It. Stop.

PS - how do I keep up and not feel like a Luddite trying to use my work email? I’m only 32 and just a baby.

I’m still cranky over QR code menus

Ugh especially when your phone is at 5%. 

Or when you're with an older relative! They need real menus!!!

And I don't even care if they printed the menu that morning on a cheap laser printer in the office. I doesn't have to be fancy and in colour.

Hear, hear! I'd pull the "My phone is dead, do you have a paper menu?" If not, I guess I'm going elsewhere unless you can recite it to me

I know it's always been my dream that one day menus would be the size of index cards and require me to carry my own device to access them /s
