I went through this a year ago. My 95 year old dad was in rehab after major heart surgery and they wanted to communicate with him through a clunky android app. It was enraging. He could barely use the TV remote and they wanted him to navigate an app that kept crashing, forcing him to log in with a username and corporate-approved password. Absolute horror. I feel for you.
1. Parking Kitty is much much easier than fussing with grafitti-ed, vandalized, unserviced parking machines.
2. Speak for yourself, Tinder is a great rebound app; vastly more productive than the limited pools at speed dating (which was big in like, 1998?)
3. True. But I don't have time for language classes. Anecdote but Duolingo brought my French language skills back to life, but probably because I already had them.
4. Do you travel much? Apps are far, far superior to any mechanism. Let's say your flight is cancelled due to weather. You can (a) call the 800 number and wait in a phone queue, (b) go to the desk and wait in a physical queue, which is challenging if you are in a country that is not your native language, or (c) log into the app to make changes instead of waiting for a person. Have you ever wanted to change your seat, or upgrade? You have the same three choices. Yeah, apps are hands-down light-years ahead of alternatives when you travel frequently.
