A couple of weeks ago, I received a gadget that allows me to watch television on my phone or laptop with the usual accompanying instructions to install the device before I could use it.

It is fairly new on the market, so imagine my surprise when, as as soon as I finished installing it, I received a pop up message stating that a newer version was available and did I want to click “here” to install!

My first access to a computer was when we used to type in MS Dos and then back slash twice, so you must forgive me for being surprised at the pace of technological change.
