Some old people and technology are something (1 Viewer)

I’m not talking people who don’t know about the differences between various phones, or know the latest memes and apps. I’m talking stuff like this:
Them: “I need to continue. There’s a button that says continue. There no other buttons on the screen. What should i do?”
Like idk if im just too young to get this, but it seems like it doesn’t need special knowledge. It’s just knowledge of cause and effect and knowledge of how to press a button. It's also why I don’t get old people who point out that younger people don’t know how to use a rotary phone. You mean to say a rotary phone is more intuitive than pressing the call icon, pressing the numbers needed, and pressing call? Yeah sorry, not buying that

Well we all need help to some extend
knowing what the button does
and that can be hard to explain to an older individual

I mean you have to know its the right button, just cuz it says continue doesnt mean its the right one or will do as its meant to

Usually if you need to continue and the continue button is the only button it does mean continue though

Usually the labels are accurate. Continue usually means continue. That’s the reason they put labels on them
