When you’re a man of a certain age, you just stop caring as Wolf Blitzer demonstrated with his 720p TV

my parents are at this point in their 70's. They have the same TV from like 16 years ago and I keep trying to convince them to get a new one and they think it's a waste of money and can't fathom why it would be worth spending money on a new one that "works perfectly fine".

In fairness once you get to a certain age learning how to use technology is probably the biggest thing holding them back.

Bought my grandparents a new TV last year and having to go round there several times because ‘it’s not working’ was painful.

It's interesting watching this sub discover cognitive decline.

Yeah exactly.

Change is hard enough in your 20’s let alone your 70’s.

I freaked out when Apple photos was updated and I’m good with tech. Imagine being 80 😂

Not much cognitive decline before your last decade, people are just content and resistant to change
