Could is the important word here. Even with all the technology they have now they don’t do much. Getting rid of some technology and replacing some with simpler technology seems like a efficient thing to do.
There will still be dirt cheap fully featured PCs, so if anyone in the family ever feels like they not only could but will want to do more they can to that. That’s hardly depressing.
makes sense. I had to troubleshoot printing problems with my Dad over the phone... apparently the printer got a new IP address and windows couldn't find it. Trying to tell my dad how to fetch the printer ip from the access point and then configure it in windows was a serious pain. After 10 years of technology, configuring the print driver is still hard in windows... it's amazing how well it works on Macs, it's just too bad my parents probably won't want to make the switch.
