My grandpa bought his ever first Computer at 82, and faulty reinstalled windows in the first days. Never used a mouse before. Don&#x27;t know anything. Now, ten years later, he sometimes explain his youngster&#x27;s how to keep the computer working.<p>So, we have a 83 years old who states &quot;I started to develop an app&quot; and we have a 82 years old, who invested time and work to learn the digital world. The 82 earn my fullest respect. The 83 years old not.<p>.. it&#x27;s not you, silly, that&#x27;s the other guys doing the work for you. So be modest and say at least &quot;I had an idea and got someone who is doing the work&quot;
