Older people and technology.

What is it with them every time there is some kind of beep whether it's a phone, on the TV or the cooker telling you your chicken should be ready? Every little sound and it's 'Oh is that someones phone?... Whose phone's that?... Where's my phone?... Is that my phone?... Have you got your phone?...Is that an Ipod?'

Has anyone tried to explain the difference between 4G and WiFi to an older relative? Wow!
