I'd say it's not that tech will become too difficult to use, but the constant and frequent changes will start to annoy you to a point where you just don't invest as much time into learning how the new stuff works. YMMV, but I am less than half your dad's age and I'm already starting to feel it.
- spikej 4y agoI used to spend hours customizing everything I used to make them "just right" and updates to software would always inevitibly break them, and I'd repeat the cycle. As I've gotten older with less free time, I've just started changing my own preferences and workflows to fit the defaults. Even that doesn't always seem to be the way as UI/UX changes mean disruptions for disruptions sakes rather than changes that make my life easier...
