Ever hear of Dimentia or Alzheimer's? Mom started with the former and over a few years short progressed to the latter. She couldn't handle anything more complex than the old fashioned drum style tuners. She even forgot how to work her simple one button phone mate answering machine.I nursed her last TV set until she passed because you can't buy them anymore.
And, I hope you never have to watch your parents degenerate the way my Mom did. I somehow don't think you would call them dumb, would you?

Hi Markw*: I guess I was trying to make the point you made...
I went through something similar before my mother passed.Like you I was trying to point out that some seniors do not adapt well to new technology. Keep it simple was my point.
.....…………Previous poster?I have had a great deal to do with elderly people and people with disabilities my ENTIRE life. I don’t sell them short whatsoever – that’s what the other poster was doing.
I’m sorry for the loss of your mother and good on you for nursing her.
I’m not going to get into an argument over this. However, the broad-brush statement that seniors can’t cope with or operate a Plasma/LCD TV is absolute bullshit.
Have a good week.
