I got a new pair of bifocals yesterday. It was long overdue since I couldn't read and walk at the same time and my face had turned into a permanent scowl caused by incessant squinting.
It had been apparent that I had been left behind in the smartphone department because it was too much of a hassle to deal with eyeglasses to navigate the tiny screens. My fingers are also too big for the tiny keys of most keyboards.
The next step in this evolution will be to try contact lenses. Even contact lenses come in bifocals. The doctor that performed my eye exam told me that he wears them himself. This from a guy who could get the laser treatment if he wanted. (What does he know that the rest of us don't?).
Maybe after that I will be walking around with an iPhone sending text messages and using all the latest apps. Somehow I doubt it.
