I've definitely turned into the paranoid nutcase within my friend group in recent years, I hate that everything is "smart" nowadays requiring an app/internet connection & account, just to do basic things that didn't require any of that before.

What's some things currently making you ramble like an old man?

Computers are dying out in the home. Phones and tablets replaced them.

PCs are the big clunky tablets that don't have Swype typing, and you have to use a mouse instead of just pressing what you want.

The age of computer literacy came and went. Give it another 10 years and kids great-grandparents will be teaching them to double click.

Hey I am old and I hate using a mouse, it's a waste of time. I just tab through everything, and when there is some missing shortcut and I have to grab the mouse for excel it extremely pisses me off.
