Ainât that the truth! Or once youâve figured out what they want and you do it, it doesnât work because the instructions were for a different model and donât work with what you have. That is maddening.
I sympathize with âMr. Dearâ. With all the âgadgets(apps) on my phone, all I use is âphone callsâ and text messages, donât understand any of the rest ! ! ! ! !
My father had a 2004 Prius. The ownerâs manual was written in English that had obviously been translated from Japanese. It was a struggle to get past the language barrier. By the time I bought my Prius in 2009, they had written the manual in English.
My cell phone did come with an instruction booklet. The print is so small that I canât even begin to read it. (I do have some visual difficulties, but I doubt that I would have done the struggling to read the stupid thing even before I had problems). Fortunately, I can look up things about it online, but thatâs a hassle, too. I share Sir Isaacâs hatred of cell phones. I use only what I absolutely have to. And Iâll give up my beloved landline when they pry it from my cold, dead hands!

Mr Dear needs to ask the twins, they know all about the technology. Meanwhile Fred, make sure he downloads a walking app!

A friend in California coined the word, âArcainsâ for the tiny, unlabeled icons on her Mac. I got a new phone last week, the concept still abides.

Been there, done that. Through perseverance, I got the phone up and running. I will be the one in charge, not my phone! But it is a struggle.

Who reads instructions today? Do they still come with instructions? On paper?
