WA2ISE,
You are so right. I went to the optician - this time, it was an Indian gentleman. He asked 'What do you do for a living?'
He said' But nobody uses radio any more - it's all digital'
I asked him where the long wire was that connected his 'phone to the telephone network. He just didn't understand that the digits were transferred by radio.
He was a crap optician too, and they had to remake my expensive industrial grade shatterproof varifocal spectacle lenses for free because he screwed up on my prescription.....
