This is serious guys...
Dad got his debit card renewed. Accompanying it were series of terms and conditions printed in gray on white sheet but hey ...even I can't read them with or without my specs.
Me thinks why do they bother printing something on a PAPER when they can upload it on net and ask the user to check the terms and conditions and accept them, without which debit card would not be activated.
I get annoyed with such thoughtlessness of big companies. It is not only debit card. The other day we bought a new modem, which is yet to be commissioned. I feel bad seeing dad struggle with magnifying glasses.
Do you all face the same problems at your end? Couldn't those things be uploaded on some website and accurate translations too.
Weird ..SMH..
END OF RANT.

and even if you could read it, it's all legal mumbojumbo that no one understands

You have the point but you know not all elderly can have the patience to browse in the internet, they much prefer to use that magnifying glass to read.

Yeah, they were days were I thought I was going to loose my mind. a month ago i lost three dogs, I thought I was gonna go insane. last week I think i had a paper jamming problem on my printer was I didn't expect, i thought it was an error until I saw a paper under the rollers, and removed it.

those books/brochures that come with schtuff these days'll sure put'cher eyes out! dunno why they've made 'em so tiny? perhaps'n hopes that folks'll not bother to read what used to be reserved fer 'fine print'. could be why they don't put such 'nline, too. folks'd be more apt to read't all 'n then holler 't the terms/conditions prior to makin' a purchase.

@vandana7 - Ms vanny - You have some good complaints about the difficult writings on not-so-wonderful paper, etc. What I don't appreciate are the tiny letterings on containers concerning the stuff within them - things of importance to anyone who want to usefully or to safely use the contents. It does not make me feel all the better about that when I consider that the size of the container may dictate the size of the print. -Gus-

Oh yes...that is another one of my grouses...
I had a remedy for it too...like put mirror images of what you want printed there, and then have pull out mirror surface...that magnify from the stands.....pretty much small tablet size metallic reflective surface with magnifying glass in front. Pull out from the stand racks ..you know the dividing shelves..in between them, and it should have a spring that pushes it back the moment the person releases it. No need to maintain kind...I thought this one long ago...forgot to come up with a post on it..lol. Wonder if it is feasible..
