2023-05-21 "We cannot enjoy ourselves with anything others recommend" [長年日記]

When Windows 95 came out and the Internet became always-on (well, if you're asking, "What's an always-on connection?" please ignore me), I set up a PC and connect to the Internet.

However, my parents didn't use the PC.

So I also installed the net game of "Go" and "Shogi" for my father.

However, I had never seen my father put the PC's start button, opened the game apps, and play the games.

Finally, my parents had never touched IT in their life.

The lesson I took from this is the fact of

"We cannot enjoy ourselves with anything others recommend"

Looking at the above, this seems to be philosophical but it is trivial in the real.

For example, in my case, I was recommended and tried, and finally, it was in vain about "Games".

The failure case of "Maid Cafe" was written in this diary(in the latter half).

Maybe, nobody will control their entertainment except for themselves.

Even if they are my parents, partner, and children.

I know your frustration about "it can be to have something so convenient and fun".

However, it cannot be helped. Let you give up.

Because we don't have what we want to do basically.

In that sense, people who have curiosity are stronger against this era of rapid change.

On the other hand, even if you have curiosity, you could not enthuse the object because the operations(preparations, procedures, and processes) are too difficult.

Especially, in the case of IT, I can say that 'the presence of at least one IT-savvy person in the family determines whether or not the curiosity lives or dies'.

Well, in my parents' case, "even if there were an IT-savvy(me), it was not enough"
