I surrender. I surrender to the digital world, the world of zero and one, of 0 and 1, of logarithms and equations. I am of the typewriter generation. If, on this day in 2019, the digital world of WWW and HTTPS is about 30 years old, I was one retired old monkey when it started. I had an IBM typewriter on my desk and thought of myself as king of the technical mountain.

Now? I surrender. It seems that everyday, the digital world, the world of links and apps and programs and hacks gets more complicated, more challenging, even more threatening. And on those days, I expect from a bank or a site of importance, another damned note telling me of changes that I must take care of immediately or suffer the consequences to life and treasure. Well, maybe only to treasure.

I don’t recall that kind of interference in my life back in the typewriter generation. Business used to leave us alone. Now it’s all about security. And I should complain about that? No. And Yes. I should. If you want to serve for a price, serve without demands.

Solve the problems with out demanding more from your customers.

If it were not for my grandson (who designed and built this website - Thank you Sean) and who lives in the Netherlands and who takes over my computer with an app called TeamViewer, I’d need a local computer craftsman like an electrician or a plumber to come to the house and solve my daily problems. … usually with one click.

Enough, I feel like I’m living in the world of the Model T, where back in the thirties, Uncle Gene used to crank the engine to get it started. No job for little kids and nobody liked cranking, so techie wizards solved the problem. Where are you today, Techie Wizards? Get creative. Frustrate hackers.
