Ralph: How do I set the alarm clock on my phone? Norman: First you press this button, then tap on the icon, then scroll to the time you want, then tap that thing! Ralph: How do you turn on our new vacuum cleaner? June: Twist the handle, step on that button, and push this button! Ralph: How do you make the new TV play a DVD? Patrick: You push the top left button on your clicker, press this button on the skinny clicker, and that button on the rounded clicker!

When we go somewhere new, I get to drive because my wife has to work her phone’s mapping app. It hasn’t been working very well lately, though.

I have a TV, a DVD player, a VCR player, an AM/FM radio and a box for my roof antenna. I have a remote for each one. One remote for all would make me crazy. I’d push the wrong button and neutralize the whole set-up. I’m 73.

Sounds like you’re doing pretty well. My husband had a stroke, and he needed to relearn how to use the remotes. Guess who had to teach him? So glad I knew, even though it was a struggle to keep up with each new one.
