1 year agoThankfully this isn’t a problem for my parents who are in their 70s. My dad worked in IT so he’s always been tech savvy and he keeps my mom up to date. Mostly her only pitfall is using too many emojis. Smartphones were not really a problem when my grandparents were around, but they had issues with the cable box so my parents labelled the remote with which buttons to push and covered the rest of the irrelevant ones.
I do have plenty of coworkers who don’t get technology, even younger ones. Their biggest problem is that they don’t want to understand. Some just lack the ability to problem solve. For those, I have written out explicit instructions on how to get from point A to point B. They don’t need to understand it I guess.
The article says the embryo models have a 99% failure rate, and also that it would be impossible to achieve pregnancy with it. Sounds like the process to coax the cells to form an embryo and miscellaneous parts takes too long.
