INTERESTING POST SHARED BY A SENIOR CLIENT:
Are we losing our country?
A society that forces older folks to use a smartphone in order to access basic rights is not a modern improved society; it is a society that has decided to cast aside its elders.
Most everything has become an app, a code, a portal. Now the very people who built this country with their own hands find themselves illiterate in their own homes. If booking a medical appointment, paying a bill requires, or even getting a discount during a purchase requires the help of a child or grandchild or any younger person - assuming there is one available - then the system is failing.
This is not innovation. It is exclusion.
Technology should serve people, not manipulate to determine who is entitled to dignity, discounts, privileges etc.
When we leave behind those who came before us, we are not evolving. Society is merely becoming more comfortable, more gullible - and more selfish and possibly more unaware of how much they are being manipulated and distracted from reality and true freedom.
