Windows 95 came out 25 years ago and many jumped directly from DOS or typewriters to it
She has +25 years of experience in using computing devices now, and computers are hundreds of times more powerful, of course things are easier for her
- GuiA 7y agoI don’t think that argument holds very strongly. My grandma worked on typewriters, and then word processors in the 70s/80s. She had no problem doing her job. She’d been using a Windows laptop since the mid/late 2000’s, and it’s always been a huge struggle for her. She’d frequently enable/disable features without noticing, etc. Her tablet has been, as they say, like a glass of iced water in hell. She is far from a power user, but there is not a single thing she did on her laptop that she cannot do on her tablet.
- chinesempire 7y ago> Her tablet has been, as they say, like a glass of iced water in hell TBF tablets do a fraction of what regular computers do. I find it hard to believe that she finds hard to do the things she does on her tablet on her the laptop. Like, for example, working with excel file (spreadheets in general) on a tablet is excruciatingly hard, while I've seen literal computer illiterates fly on their keyboards
