@AllyJay my mum knits too, she has since she was a teenager. She’s knitted us and our kids soooo many fantastic outfits. She knits blankets and rugs too. I think she used the same line on us when we got impatient with her after explaining for the upteenth time how to open a text message (not send it, just open one to read it). But she had a point. I’ve always rejected her offers to teach me to knit cos it looks so complicated, yet she could do it with her eyes closed. So we all started being more patient. But even so, I still disagree that everyone needs to be technologically skilled. There’s still a simple world out there, and it need to be retained and respected. Not everyone is into gadgets and they shouldn’t have to be. And not everyone should need a credit card to pay for basic services either. We need to keep the world a bit simpler. I think the pre-tech world was a lot less stressful in some ways and much kinder.
