Excerpted from the Palo Alto Post Examiner:

Bill Doohickey recently bought a smartphone for his elderly father and was surprised at how difficult it was for him to use it.

“I have the exact same model Nokia and I love it.  I mean, I freakin’ love it.  It does everything.  So, I thought what the heck, I’ll get one for Pop.  Unfortunately, it just hasn’t worked out.  He accidentally calls me all the time and I’ll get these long, incoherent messages, sometimes while he and my Mom are at the chuckwagon arguing over whether he’s piling his plate too high or not.”

“Just last month he accidentally surfed the internet for 72 hours straight.  I’m not sure how he pulled that off, but you can imagine the resulting data charges.”

“Anyway, long story short, he and my mother are now the proud owners of matching Jitterbugs.”
