This really resonates with me. My husband really is struggling with using his iPhone, iPad and computer. Also sometimes the TV. He spends inordinate amounts of time reading emails. He forwards half of his emails to me to act upon, even though I get many of the same emails and take action as soon as I get them. But, in a way, I’m glad that the emails give him something to focus on. It’s very hard to be patient and responsive sometimes. I do better if I get a break during the day so I have been trying to make plans, do errands and exercise.

@grandmajoan We're in almost exactly the same boat with the electronics. Unfortunately our TV remote requires some sequential steps that often trip up my wife. She spends a lot of time with emails and somehow is subscribed to numerous recipe sites, and she tries to save recipes (I do all the cooking and have my own recipe app). The last time she tried to follow a recipe, she could not do it. She was unable to make a grilled cheese sandwich recently. I get forwarded emails all the time, too.
