Wait, didn’t this post just make a case that older people don’t keep up with new technology because they don’t feel they need it?
New apps appeal to me less and less often. Sometimes something does look fun, like video editing, but the learning curve is so steep and I don’t need to make an Eye of The Tiger style training montage of my friends’ baby learning to buckle his car seat that badly, so I pass it by and focus on the millions of things I want to do that don’t require learning a new technical skill.
Doesn’t sound to me like you desperately need that app :)
That is true but actually it is a main part of the problem. You don’t need many new apps, but by not using them you can cumulatively loose (or not gain) crucial competencies you do need later on.
