This brings back a wistful memory of my father watching and braying at a years old recording of a football game as if it’s implications were in real time. This morning he’s in the hospital, fallen apart, but still making trouble with his phone. The memory is wistfully mild in comparison to his more recent publicly displayed errors in perception and judgement that leave a trail of breakage in his wake. With his significant wealth held up against any question of dignity, he hangs on to his right to access even complex technologies and in that the embarrassments and frustrations are only minor considerations.
Like past discussions around car keys, maybe we need to come to some acceptable social mores about when the use of technology should be left alone in the service of safety and dignity.
No offense to the OP I hope. My dad used to do exactly this kind of thing on Facebook posts, etc. It was mostly just amusing. We all maybe need to consider though putting aside the keyboard at some point.
