Tech After 50:When Did We Become Our Parents?
-
Narrated by:

By:
On this episode of Dismissed, Jeni and Amy unpack tech overwhelm, social media learning curves, and the texting habits that drive them nuts. Jeni revisits her early-adopter days during the dot-com boom—and wonders how she went from embracing innovation to battling a shared document. Amy reflects on teaching’s transition from handwritten grade books to online everything, plus an Instagram Reels audio struggle that required reinforcements from her daughter.
They also compare TikTok vs. Instagram Reels, debate the appeal of scrolling, and discuss AI, and The Blackberry.
Then comes Amy’s PMO: people who don’t reply to texts or emails. A response would be lovely. Don’t be rude.
