Bob is a very funny main character who is resistant to change, especially anything new in the technology world.  I have a few friends whose policy is like Bob's:  no computer, no Kindle, no cellphone.  No use for them.  Even though Bob's wife loves him, she tells him he's going to look like an idiot if he wears his old headset that he's patching up with duct tape because it's falling apart.  He shoves aside all suggestions of getting a new one.  Why spend money on something new when duct tape will do the job?This short story, "Redtooth" by Brian Rathbone is creative and funny. It doesn't take but a few minutes to read, but the reader gets to know a good bit about Bob in that short time.  There is a twist to the end, which I always like.  Good story for a coffee break or lunch break.
