Today’s the day that I learned that I’m out of touch with society.
- This isn’t something that bothers me or that I have an issue with, it’s just I’ve realized how much the rest of the world has seemed to advance and left me behind.
I’m in my 70s and I was looking to replace my thermostat because it recently stopped working. I didn’t know it was no longer working until I had a heating and air conditioning guy come out, at first I thought it was my air conditioning system but no it was the thermostat that was the issue. Anyways when he came out he informed me that I would need to replace the thermostat. So I went to the nearest heating and AC provider and looked at what options they had available. I was amazed with some of these thermostats that they had. They now have these very fancy programmable thermostats, thermostats that run off Wi-Fi, and smart thermostats that can scan a room and learn your habits and adjust your temperatures accordingly. Seeing all this new technology that I was completely unaware of not only made me feel really old but also amazed me, I’m not the kind of hate new technology although I will openly admit that I don’t understand it at all. I don’t even know how to use this stuff. I asked the heating and air conditioning guy to show me the simple stuff and I replaced my dial thermostat with a new dial thermostat. It might be old and outdated but it’s what works for me.
