I second this, but don't think it's just a matter of getting older and less curious or being fed up with computers due to years of professional work on them. For me, a large part of the frustration comes from having moved previously simple tasks and habits to complicated, complex and unstable computer-based solutions. Not only have the tasks themselves become more difficult and in some ways less efficient (reading tiny text on small displays - no thanks!), but they come with a huge burden of having to maintain an OS, network infrastructure, software updates, security risk, privacy considerations, prevent data loss (make backups). Sure, there are many advantages with our new approaches, but the burden of complexity far outweighs them if you stop ignoring it.
