When it came to technology Simon was useless. At age 30 he had a phone worse than your own grandparents. He refused to upgrade to a real phone, or even a decent laptop. Sometimes it was insufferable.

You had an iPhone, mostly to message family who lived far away and take a million photos of your three little ones— two girls and a boy. Plus your laptop for the fact you worked completely from home.

It was so frustrating having him use the same brick phone, year after year. And embarrassing when he used it in public. Even your oldest— Noah— aged ten teased him about it.

He was old fashioned in many ways.
