> Another good example is the iPad and iPhone. Very simple to use when they first came out. Great for seniors because they were so simple to use. Try teaching a senior that has never used an iPad or iPhone how to use one these days and it's much harder than in the beginning. I'm trying to teach my 80 yr old Dad how to use his first smartphone, an iPhone 5. What a chore. If it was the original or 2nd iPhone model it would be much less complicated.

I suspect there is a lot more difference between your dad and myself than just 8 years.
At 72 I have no particular difficulty learning orvusing these devices.
It isn't age.
Perhaps it is inherent level of interest, perhaps previous technological background, perhaps something else.
