Easiest? I'd have to say that #3 is the easiest for me, as I am a puzzle solver to the core. The hardest part of #3 is that I have to want (be interested in) to solve whatever the challenge is.
The hardest is probably #6. While I think technology is very cool (even though computers did force me to finally learn how to type... oops! keyboard), I find the issue is the time, or lack thereof, to learn how to use it all. I find myself resenting the "theft" of my time by having to read absurdly thick manuals containing obscure instructions for myriad features that I don't want. The operation of a lot of devices seems anything but straightforward, and sometimes I just want to get on with my life. Sometimes, I don't want more and more choices!
Wow, did I just vent, or what?
