My old person trait is that I think 'ghosting' is completely unacceptable and you owe the other person a face-to-face conversation.

My old person trait is you should be able to order a "coffee", small, medium or large at Starbucks, without having to learn a new language.

My trait is I think cars are too digital and should be analogue. Giant touch panels are distracting and have generally bad UI design. You can control an A/C with 3 dials, 4 if you have zones and don’t need to look down at all. Pinnacle of engineering.

I will never own a car that has features behind a paywall or that I can’t directly control. Computer cars are fine as long as I have root.

My old person trait is that anything that unnecessarily connects to the internet is suspicious and leaking my info.

Company call centers should - after a reasonable wait - put you in contact with a bone and flesh human and not a fucking 010001101 robot, also those humans should be paid decently, since I don't envy the insults they, unfairly, take

Is wanting kids to get off my lawn an old person's trait?

Tabs belong below the address bar on a browser, not above. Also the menu bar should always be a thing and there should be a title bar as well, not merging the two or three (including tabs) into one single bar.

My old person trait is that often prefer phonecalls over text messages.

I'm okay with instant messaging, but similar feeling.

Give me a full keyboard or give me death. I fucking hate typing on the chiclets of a virtual keyboard.

My old person trait is that cars should have physical buttons for at the very least climate control and media.

Taking notes with a pencil. Since everyone likes to type their notes. I don’t.
