It is worrying. As we get older it's more difficult to learn new technology. |

I've realised I'm quite good at technology, learning how to use new systems etc, however, the worst thing about technology is the number of 'not fit for purpose' systems the Public Sector is sold, at a vast cost to us, and their insistence in them as a replacement for people. Not just financially, but personally, from the recipient to the user. |

Easy access to wi-fi and the internet has eliminated or, at least, reduces the need for us to actually talk to each other face to face. |

I hate all this new technology - having problems with the internet at the minute, this morning my Sky has no sound - I bought one of those all singing all dancing mobiles - can't use the blasted thing at all - still using my old one - can't text either - so many things "bleep" - have no idea what's going on :-( |

"Keep in touch" is a frequent personal departing phrase said with the sincerity of the moment. And yet, it is sad that we do not always back our words with actions despite all the new vaunted technology. |

Having studied and worked in IT for 30-odd years, I have embraced PCs and the Internet to the extent I would not like to be without them. I'm not a hardware freak and prefer my laptop to tablets and I-phones. Don't like e-readers, prefer a real book. One thing that does drive me nutty is people wandering around glued to their phone, what can be so interesting? I went on a boat trip down the Thames a while back and there was a crowd of students on board. Their time was taken up with taking selfies, and various group shots, lurching from one side of the boat to the other to vary the background. So self-obsessed whilst a thousand years of history glides by unnoticed. |

Funny you should say that Sheila, my wife and I went on a lunch cruise on the Thames today. I must admit that I didn't notice anyone using a mobile phone. I left mine at home as usual. |

I was in Oxford today. I noticed those walking along with phones clasped to their ears were shouting. |

I have to say technology has probably saved my sanity. Since I became practically stone deaf, meaning no radio and no telephone, the computer and a text phone and now my tablet are my main way of communication. I often think what a difference it |

Old fashioned bank robbers, on early release for good behaviour, are now increasingly turning to technology to get their grubby fingers on our hard earned cash. |
