    That’s why I keep the keyboard locked unless I’m actually using it.

    Justin, maybe you’ll have to explain to Millennials what a ‘call’ is.

    And to the Gen Xers why we say we “dial” a phone.

    Or why, when we record a show on our DVR, we say we’re “taping” it.

    “I have always wished that my computer would be as easy to use as my telephone. My wish has come true. I no longer know how to use my telephone.”

    — Bjarne Stronstrup (originator of C++ programming language)

    My father never learned to say “refrigerator” instead of “icebox”.

    @runar, a confrere, who is an editor, so he has to keep up with the latest word-processing formats, complains that with every upgrade in program or computer, he can do less and less.

    It’s called software/feature bloat. For 95% or so of users, PCs were powerful enough ten years ago. And if they aren’t abused, a PC can easily last ten years. So to get people to keep buying new software/hardware, they keep adding features, which require more powerful hardware. Doesn’t matter that most people never actually USE or NEED most of these new features. I fight almost daily with MS Word thinking it knows better than I do what tabs and indents I want. Phones are the same way. I’ll keep using my 5 YO ‘just a phone’ till it goes belly up. I don’t want a camera or internet browser or music device. I just want a phone.

    @andymeijers, that’s all well and good–but he has to keep upgrading to be able to receive articles from his writers.
