My wife is getting used to a new computer system at her work. That prompted me to talk about the frustrations that people have commented on about the new MyWDFW system through my Facebook page. As you know, this was the last year that people are able to get a paper version of their licenses, permits and catch record cards. She wondered how older residents, that either aren’t that good at doing things on the computer or don’t even have one, will be able to use it. I responded that they will have to ask their neighbor’s children or their grandchildren to help! Kids make things like this look easy. When I was fishing on Drano Lake with Shane Magnuson and Buzz Ramsey, I got a look at how filling out the punch card on a smart phone worked. When Buzz landed a fish he opened the MyWDFW App and figured out how to enter his spring salmon on the Catch Record Card feature. He clicked through the prompts and got it done. I timed how long it took him to complete this and it was almost right on 60 seconds. What’s been your experience with the new system?
