I am also retired now and was a market research professional in high tech. I had been working abroad and came back right when desktop PCs were starting to show up on everyone's desk. I took a DOS class...I never want to be a programmer... but learned how a relational database works. I saw the potential with that technology. Convincing others of the value took a little patience. Now it is a given. Last year I discovered a glitch in my local providers tracking of covid data and got them to correct it.
The trick is to know where you want to go with the technology.

And allow me to take advantage of you for my own curiosity. I hear about EPIC that Mayo uses and other medical institutions use. I have been told that a doctor in one institution can then see your records in another institution that uses EPIC. But I also read that it is a lot of work for a doctor to be able to pull up your records in another institution. So how well is that really working?
MyChart will compare my reports done in the same clinic. But if I pull in reports from another clinic, it can't compare them. For example, I pulled in blood work reports from another clinic. But when I want to look at a table of values from both Mayo and the other clinics over a period of time, it won't do that.
