just sat at work and a collegue of mine has just got a new phone.(shes gettin on abit) she has sat and read the user booklet twice and still cant work out how to make a call!!:confused:

is this normal? (for old people)

That's pretty bad. Stick with one type of phone, (Nokia in my case).

Whenever my Mum phones me to help her buy a new phone, I go with her, and make sure it's a Nokia, (I'm not going through 9 hours of training her again:hihi:).

I must admit, Motorolas/Samsungs etc etc even do my t*ts in, and I'm still young.

well she has the new sony walkman phone, its really good,got loads of s****y stuff on there but i dont think it will ever get used!!!

if it does i will be amazed!!!

Feel im in the wrong job should be working at carphone warehouse instead!!!

You will probably find that she wanted a telephone to make calls on.
These are now practically unobtainable, you have to have all the bells and whistles attached.
These additions are to keep the price inflated.
A bog standard phone would be so cheap probably, that they would not be able to keep their shops open from the profits.
English children's obsession with mobile phones is reminiscent of Malibu Stacey in The Simpsons.

It is bad. The documentation is clearly not fit for purpose and the phone company should be ashamed.

As should the person who sold her the phone.

I have a very old Nokia that does phone stuff, text messages, WAP and a few bits like a ocket calculator and reminder gadget. It's great. I don't need the manual.

From my experience older people get on well with technology provided that the documentation is fit for purpose and that the kit itself is suitable - e.g. no pissy little buttons for older fingers!

And YES! Motorola is the pits! The simple phone I had before this Nokia was a Motorola and the docs for that were dreadful. Someone I know has a Motorola that takes pictures, colour screen, etc. and the documentation for that is abysmal. I recently borrowed their phone to make a call and whilst I managed to make it quite successfully I had to hand it back to tehm to finish the call - couldn't work out which button to press. :rolleyes:

just sat at work and a collegue of mine has just got a new phone.(shes gettin on abit) she has sat and read the user booklet twice and still cant work out how to make a call!!:confused:

LOL do I work with you?

Im totally useless with technology. Last week I discovered that my phone has games and music on it. Only because my daughter was playing with it!
Apparently it has a camera too, dont know where or how to use it :confused:

Dont know how to work the video or dvd player either.

Its normal for young people as well. Were you at work at 2:46.a.m. ?

I agree Pattricia, I'm not old but I haven't got a clue how to use most of the features on my phone.
I got it because I wanted to download music on to it and have fancy ringtones, but I've had to resign myself to phoning and texting with it (though I do know how to take photo's I don't know how to send them).

It's normal for all technology to become increasingly complex and offer a load of useless options that only one person in a thousand would ever use.

Same happens with computer programs, who would ever use all the options in "Word", there may be about 20 I would ever use.

Best buy 2nd hand old technology.

As a kid I used to be able to build models and radios without reading the instructions.
In my teens I could repair stereos and electrical equipment without even thinking about the schematics.
In my 20s I could set a video recorder and programme a computer in basic, plus perform all the prior tasks already mentioned.
In my 30s I could fix most electrical items, programme a mobile phone, programme a more complex computer in basic and perform all the prior tasks mentioned here.
Now Im in my 40s, I find it hard to even open a can of sardines without detailed instructions.
As for MP3 and mp4 players, DVD recorders, computers with windows, I TRY to read the instructions, really I do, but the manufacturers seem to be in love with gobbldeygook, and most of the instructions seem to have been translated into English by a drunk Swede, who translated it from Greek which was translated from Japanese by a dyslexic gibbon.

I used to be proud of myself because I never read instructions, instead relying on my brain to work out how things worked, and I did excellently.

I just wish that I didnt throw the instructions for my brain away because since I hit my 40s it seems to be malfunctioning.

Well youre concentrating on nappy changing now arent you ?:D

Completely with you on this one Jabbs :thumbsup:

I still have no idea how to set the clock on our video player that's flashed 00:00 for 5 years now - let alone program it to record while we're out :hihi:

I recently set a freeview box up for my Mum, when I got home the phone was ringing as I walked through the door. I had to talk her through it as she'd got lost in menu mode and was getting a bit frantic as Corrie was about to start.

Now Im in my 40s.............
And the rest, its not tell us a porky thread you know :hihi:


























Just kidding.

im 38 and cant use a mobile







but i can build a computer :D

I just gave up trying to remember my mobile phone number, or those of the familiy's years ago. I absolutely refuse to even try. Too many numbers! :o

It's taken years for me to get used to Sheffield's phone code, which used to be 142, I think (it's a long time ago) followed by 5 numbers. It's now 01142 + 6 numbers.

When we first married, being somewhat distant from our respective in-laws, we had a GPO telephone line fitted. At that time it had to be on a "shared" line. We simply had a line consisting of 3 numbers. These days it's 6 at least. And the Operator was on Dial O; none of this 150, 100, 1470, 1471, 1571 118118 rubbish.

And that's before I start on the Premium Line numbers! :o :loopy:

PS for those who have never had to use a "shared line" it was shared with another resident in the village, and etiquette demanded that if one picked up your own phone, and they were using the line, you had to try later when the line was cleared. It was strictly verboten to listen in to their conversation.:)

Shoeshine Ive no idea what my mobile number is, and I must have had the same number for 8 years.

I cant remember my mobile number OR my house phone number.

My mobile number is the only mobile number I can remember although I do sometimes forget it when asked. It's taken me over a year to learn it tho.

Strange thing is, I can remember two phone numbers of people I knew over 30 years ago. One of which is an ex from when I was 14, the other is of someone I used to fancy when I was about the same age. Obviously both numbers will have changed now with the new dialing codes so are about as useful as a chocolate fireguard. They stay in my head tho for some strange and unknown reason. I don't even WANT to remember the numbers so why are they still in my head?

but i can build a computer :D

So can I and I'm nearly 70 - it's just leggo with wires these days :D

Fortunately my mobile only does phonecalls and text and I can display my own number just by pressing a button ;)

Never did learn to program a VHS recorder.

The weird thing is, I too have a number stored in my brain from the past.

It's from when I used to fetch a bit of saturday morning shopping for my mum at the small Co-op store nearby. "Don't forget to give them my number or I'll not get the Divi!"

That was at least 54 years ago!:o

It was her old Co-op Membership No........5 digits. I can recite it even now. :help:

My gran is so funny about "technology." She's just had a new shower installed and this morning I had to be shown the wonders of how it has three settings! You can twist the dial to change the flow and - oh my god- you can adjust the temperature!
She even got giddy that you can change the height of the head bless!

She's the sort of nan that keeps the box and wrapper of everything - just in case!

Every time the power goes off I have to reset the clock on her hifi. I must have shown her at least twenty times now!

They say a man can always remember his army number.:)

im old :rolleyes: and i know abit about techno thingymajingy:P

They say a man can always remember his army number.:)


Women too ! I remember mine :) but can't put my phone to good use thought.

I had a couple of voice mail from an old couple and although it's a tad wrong to laugh it was just like Peter Kays grandparents/phone situation. I heard the lady say "what's happening now ?" and the old boy replied "It's that woman again" meaning the "Welcome to Orange answerphone" message :)

The weird thing is, I too have a number stored in my brain from the past.....
Got mobile and landline numbers permanently at hand on the monitor, written on a post-it note, no chance of remembering either, nor can I remember anything apart from the first three letters of my car registration number...

But like Shoeshine... I can't forget the Co-Op divi number from over half a century ago... 19011 ... Weird!

EDIT: But I can operate, hack and mod the registry of a smartphone! :)

Thats so funny, Alex, and just sums it all up for me. Made me laugh this one.

My gran always does that as well. I don't know how she manages it at all but when she calls me, she talks to my answering machine as if she's frustrated it's not talking back to her.

Then she puts it down and - somehow - whilst it's still on - gets my phone to call her back. She always answers with a very curt hello... hello... hello.... oh bugger (and other swear words) then speaks to her fella -("there's noone bloody there") hello and then swears again and puts the phone down. Never fails to crease me up.:hihi: Once she managed to do it so it called her back six times!!! :hihi:
I've tried to do it from her phone and can't! I've no idea what she presses!

Just don't get stuck behind old people at the cash machine! I'm sure somewhere, at least one of them has actually died of old age before getting their pension money out.

I remember calling my grandparents on a mobile phone from Scotland once. My grandad was amazed that the signal could reach from Scotland to Sheffield. "All that way and it's crystal clear" he kept saying...

He also used to call 1571 "that posh woman who answers your phone when you're out".

Has anyone noticed that old people tend to shout when they're on the phone?

Yes, they do shout on the phone dont they !!! They even say "Are you still there?" even when its a recorded message.:hihi: :hihi:

That is what young people are for, doing things that older people cant be bothered with.
However I do not always fall into that camp, even at my advanced years, I have just took part of an IT company onboard.

I was on the phone to my mum the other day and I got call waiting from.....MY MUM. God knows what she did it but it tickled me. :loopy: :loopy:

In the past,whenever we bought anything electronic,I was always the one to sort out the instuctions.The OH is good at sorting where the wires go etc.
As the children got older,they took over.:(

I still try to work out how new stuff works.Trouble is,if I don"t use an item for a while,I forget and have to look it up again!:confused:
Esp the digital camera.:help:

OH never has a problem with the mobile phone.He refuses to have one!

The only person I ring on my mobile phone is the recorded voice who tells me how much money Ive got left on.

I had to make my mum get a mobile - so I can keep a check on her! It's taken her months to learn how to use it and she still phones me on the land line to ask questions on how to use 'the stupid thing' as she calls it. Anyway, one day whilst at my house, her phone rang and she rushes for her handbag and is frantically rummaging around in it. Can't you you find it? I asked. I'm not looking for that, she says. I'm looking for my glasses, I can't hear owt on that daft phone without me glasses on.

I give up!!!

How old do you have to be to qualify to be technology illiterate.
Does it start at 40 ? Does it strike some people early
Do the gadgets sit there threatening us or do we just hide our head in the sand and hope they will go away.
I remember a time when my mind switched off at just the mention of a .com and now we are all on writing on the forum.
When older learning is just a slower proccess than it used to be.

well in her late 50's (fairly old)

I think that old people with modern technology is hilarious; My dad spent years trying to instill a working knowledge of the internal combustion engine into me - It didn't take hold. I could never get it, you may have well have asked me to perfom the dark arts and resurrect the corpse of JFK.

Now, when my old man got a computer I was was continually getting sumoned by the old boy bellowing " Young 'un! The bloody things' showing the hourglass again!" "It's ok" I'd reply "That means it's thinking about things".

"Work you indolent *******!" The old man would shout "I paid for you so you will ruddy well work in a decent time scale!". Ahhhhhhh the smugness of not fully understanding the rotary engine but completely understanding Microsoft's products :D

Yes pattricia I left the army in 1969 and still remember my number, but can't take photos with my phone without the instructions in my hand.

I can remember the telephone number of my job "cause I used to answer the phone."36644..Gillotts Bakeries Ltd"
This was in 1954!
Don"t know my mobile number though.
I also have to repeat to myself my pin No. when at cash machines or buying stuff.

Pin numbers are a pain in the ****. I made mine all the same number, but still cant remember the number,and have to have it written on a piece of paper, and pull it out every time I want to use it.

I remember a few months ago I was in a situation where I needed to get someone 'of a certain age' speaking to her daughter who was at work.

Once we'd established the correct number I called it, I then handed my mobile over to the other person who proceeded to speak into it like a walkie talkie.

'Hello, can you hear me?' she bellowed into the handset.

She then looked at me and said 'Do I need to say 'over?'

Giggles? I nearly peed.

:)

Old is soooo subjective! I may look old, and chronologically 60 may be classed as old, but I don't think old, and I don't think I act particularly old. I can remember our phone number from when I was a child in the 1950s - but thats probably cos my mum didn't move for years and I was still phoning it 30 years on.

I can programme the video, use my mobile phone adequately AND text, but I can't remember my mobile number or anyone elses! I don't know much about computers other than using them for word processing or internet/email. How does an Ipod work? I use online banking, and wouldn't dream of picking up my pension from the post office. Why do pensioners queue up ages before it opens! Do they think the money will run out? :hihi: I sometimes shop on line - how easy will that be when I get so old I can't go to the shops!

Silver surfers are definitely on the increase! :thumbsup:

He insists on going to the bank for the cash and then to the Post Office to pay it.
I told him it would save a trip to the bank if he paid by our bank card.
But,no.He says he can"t bear to have people behind him watching while he does the transaction.It gets him all flustered,he says.
I"ve taught him to use the cash machine though.He does that now with a flourish!

Still learning how and if I have problem my son yells "have you read the book"::o
What can we do except pull the "I'm too old for this" card.
That way we don't do any of the messing and have the complete use of things making our kids look good and us stupid.:hihi:

See where the old person in the OP is going wrong is in trying to use the documentation for the mobile phone. I have the Sony k800i and, whilst the phone itself is great, the documentation is next to useless.

Best just to press buttons until it does what you want. Or breaks, in which case take it back to the shop and moan for ages at the assistant like an old person should. ;)
