@TonyaM...I agree. That was a point I made the other day. Many people "of a certain age" are not very tech savvy. I'm a member of a writing group where most of the members are no longer young. The great majority of them have said to other members who say something like..."I email that page to you"...or "There's a link on wherever"...only to be cut short with a reply of, "Sorry, I don't know how to do all that, can you post it to me". Ditto other groups I belong to. From what I know, advancing age is a huge determinator in developing breast cancer, so obviously there's a huge cohort of people who, like me, only know the basics. The generation of people who are very familiar with all these gadgets will come to the fore in a few years, but in the mean time, I, and many others are cut off from knowledge via this means. In any case, if I'm in crisis, I want to actually speak to someone who has ears and a mouth...I don't want to use my thumbs to click over a tiny screen for support.
