Re: My eyes are the age of that slab...
"Engage zoom mode and move head nearer the picture?"
Here's something you might not have known: as the body ages, the muscles in the eye tend to harden, reducing the ability to close-focus. Too close and vision deteriorates, exacerbating the problem rather than mitigating it. As a person in possession of eyes in that state, and who frequently deals with small electronics, I'm personally and painfully aware of this fact.
Parent did mention ageing eyes.
Another factoid: lower-resolution photos tend to contain less detail than higher-resolution photos. Despite what you may have seen on CSI, zooming in does not add detail.
Not to mention that I'm sure Parent tried that first.
Those of us for whom details are an important part of our work find your reply to be naive, if not snarky.
