@MarkHoltom Even if you're young and tech savvy is a huge problem if you don't have, let's say, a smartphone. Which I don't have, so it's always "very funny" how a big part of the world is just strangely forbidden for me.
Can't even begin to imagine the hell on earth it must be for an elder person.

@Jurarigo_ @MarkHoltom I know someone who doesn't have a smartphone, and who bought concert tickets before the pandemic restrictions. When the concert eventually happened, paper tickets were no longer accepted, so they had to borrow a smartphone to get an electronic version of the ticket they had already bought several years ago.

@OiskaE @MarkHoltom I still have to borrow one in certain restaurants because the menu is now just a QR code plastered on the table. Fun times.

That would be pretty much the last time I would visit such place. Restaurants that value more customers staring into their phones than the actual food being served and social interaction - sorry, I can also go to McDonalds if I want that. There they have the touch screen ordering terminals at least and it likely costs 10x less.
