dkzody's right : You enjoy this entertainment and use it a lot so it's worth it.
Carol's idea is a classic : Somebody write a book about this, and SOON. Although I fear that publishing a book means the information will probably be outdated before it hits the bookstores' shelves.
Linda Reeder is like me, and relies on the voice remote to find what she seeks. TBG remembers all the station numbers. I prefer to filll my brain with other things. I know how to find the apps on the home screen.... sometimes.... and Netflix and Amazon Prime are the only places I go on my own, and then, only rarely.
Laura and Jim Davis offered practical solutions. JES wants to fix the problem by visiting (something we've been trying to do since 2010).
What I need is a college kid with aging parents/grandparents who understands our need to watch on the tv and not our phones. She should be a good explainer, with a high tolerance for ignorance and ineptitude. She must not judge our choices (yes, he needs Perry Mason and Leave it to Beaver on METV). This could be a high paying gig for someone with the knowledge and time. If only she existed outside of my imagination.
I think your wish for an astute technology helper could be a reality. You have a number of colleges in Tucson, check with them to see if they have a job board or employment office and broach the subject. I know, here in Fresno, we have high school students who can do this, too. Three of our high schools are "middle college" and the students are very astute and they know their stuff and they are all looking for ways to make money for college.

My suggestion… Leave a note in the teachers’ lounge at your garden school. Include your last paragraph above. Maybe a teacher will suggest a teen or student they know.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea to get one of the older scholars at Prince to help you!
