I am relatively tech literate and I have troubles remembering every canal I have to use to join all of my contacts. I have like 6 or 7 different ones.

Meanwhile, my father can't remember one password to save his life, and my grandfather tries answering the phone on a TV remote. Good luck with that.

The people who refuse to get off Facebook can contact me via text. Everyone has a cell phone. I've never had Facebook and never will. I'm not putting my face or personal info online and I'm not ever going to bend on that. If they can't accept that and compromise on how we communicate then they can GTFO of my life.
