Absolutely. Phone conversations now are awkward and annoying because of the lag and sound activated cancellation (simplex? - I don't know if this is a feature of the handset or something else).
I find older people on the phone get frustrated with the modern phone system and they don't know why.
- interfixus 9y agoI'm older. I get frustrated. But I do know why. You're right, though - many don't. I find the whole thing a neat example how not every change is undilutedly for the better, and how we tend unwittingly to accept those creeping degradations. Being old and crotchety, I could name examples...
- somebehemoth 9y agoI would be shocked to find many young people with such intricate knowledge of the inner workings of phone systems. This is not something taught in school so I don't know what age has to do with it.
