Honestly, I feel like I'm stuck in 1976 where I took great pride in knowing how to use the really cool slide rule I got for chemistry, I knew how to take short hand, and the class of "76" ruled. I went off to college and poof, suddenly high school looked really lame. Who cared that we graduated 200 years after our country was founded. Who cared I could do shorthand. That never got me any jobs. And who cared I had that really neat slide rule and could use it?

About this time they began to use word processors and I mentally ran screaming from the room. They developed really expensive calculators one had to have for class. And now I was going to graduate sometime in the 80's and who really cared what year that was.

As for all this new technology, want to see the blue screen of death? I can do that. Want to lose all your data? I can do that. Want to have the slowest site in town? I can do that. Want to know what I think of technology? I just want it to read my mind or listen to my voice and translate what I'm saying into computer speak and just do what I want done. But no, I have to read directions and then when that's not making sense asking my son for guidance.

And I want to blog?

I actually am liking the new I-pad. I finally am using the I-touch for a few things. And I am learning to blog.

Hmmm. I kind of think I'd better get on this horse and ride it soon or I"ll never be able to communicate with the up and coming generation of grandchildren let alone, daughter-in-laws.
