Sad and not funny! This is an attempt to make fun of the "new" technology which is more than 20 years old and is easier to use now than ever.

You know what I really love?


When a cat runs across the keyboard and manages to shut down the computer. I don't know what sequence of keys they hit but they seem to know.

Having been in tech for quite a long time, I found the video amusing but not something I could relate to. Someone sure had fun making it, though. Good for them!

I'm curious about specific complaints with iPhones, if anyone wants to share.

understand - I learned Fortran and COBOL when we had to use punch cards -

But it is still funny

I don't even know what all my iPhone can do.

Clever!

When we began to worry about my folks out on snowy roads in the winter time we gifted them with a phone. We skipped all the great stuff it could do and just gave the basics - how to charge, turn on and dial 911 and our number. We practiced.

A couple of weeks later I called and asked if they felt more secure droving with the phone and Dad said they had to take it back because it "didn't work."

And COBOL programmers are still in demand.
