    God I was helping one of my kids with their tablet the other day, the browser had 196 tabs open… thats not even an exaggeration, 196. It was literally the first time I’ve ever used the close all tabs function on any browser.

      We switched my daughter to online school recently and she never closes tabs. I have to keep telling her, “you don’t need to keep the tab of story we read for English 3 days ago open. You’re never going to read it again. You didn’t even like it.”

      Wow, definitely different school learning protocol here.

      Our kids were fussing at me to close my tabs as I go by the time they hit middle school, and when they were younger we had a ‘clear tabs automatically on closing’ set up in their browsers.

    To be fair, the screen is bright and the fonts are big because she’s an old lady and her eyesight is bad and the volume is loud because her hearing is also bad.

    God, whenever I help my mom with something on her phone or get it for her, I always see she has tons and tons of notifications. I could never do that. She also has many apps open usually and that also is something I couldn’t do. I have more than maybe 4 notifications and 4 apps open at a time and it drives me insane.
