How not to get overwhelmed with new Technology.

Its simple. If you look around, the technical things and their interaction with our day to day life is growing day by day.
Its software or hardware or to simply say a new technology.

Too much Technology
It started a decade back with the Computers turning into PC's( personal computers).
Suddenly normal people had computing power at their hands to do complex things. we suddenly got an extra brain other than ours to work for us. No previous human in mankind had this liberty.

But the technology is growing leaps and bounds, and some people are finding it hard to catch up. There is no need to understand all of it , but knowing around 25% of anything or any big successful product makes life easy.

Lets take an example: Mobile phones and people in their 60's don't go well. Cellphones and their jargon's like CPU, Quad Core, Octa core, Rams, Pixels, Memory management are too much for them. They feel overwhelmed or sometimes as if their time has gone. The situation is to be blamed for this. not they are to be blamed, not technology.
