Techno-phobia

Reading that people have trouble setting hotel alarm clocks hits home with me. I find it is a challenge and then you worry you won't be woken up when you need to and ask for a wakeup call just in case the alarm clock you brought from home fails as well. But, I am also one of those many folks who would not be able to program my VCR and have a blinking "12:00", cannot work the DVD player or the TIVO-like device in our house. My daughter cannot tell time from a regular clock due to the digital world, but she can work all the above equipment.
Oh well. To read about others like me, see http://news.yahoo.com/s/usatoday/hotelsdumbdownalarmclocksforwearyguests
