I know the feeling. I can't even see the numbers on the cell phone without my reading glasses.

I have to confess to being a techno geek. I love gadgets. Cell phones have become problematic. I'm not as quick at learning new stuff as I was when younger. My wireless company updates me just about the time I learn how to operate the last the gave me. I have a Bluetooth device that plays my phone through my hearing aids. I use facebook to communicate with siblings. I can do it on my time, not when they call. I DO NOT Twitter. Tweeting sounds like something John Birch (not a real person) did after his mother walked him home from 8th grade.

What a great thread!

I've had a cell phone for many years now but only just discovered how to text thanks to my dear daughter down in Texas texting me! I HAD to learn to text her back! I have unlimited texting now. I have a FB account but go to it maybe once every 6 months if I remember to. I am in Farmville but all my crops died because I never go to care for them. I signed up for all these things then realized how much time of my life they wanted! I have no idea if I can Tweet or not. My phone is getting "long in the tooth" and I'm eligible to upgrade but I don't. My hubby now knows how to turn on/off and charge his after 3 years. I can't upgrade him! I almost would like a Droid but can't, I don't think because of hubby. Maybe I could but he would have a coniption if I went higher tech (money wise).

Yes, OP sounds like Andy Rooney to me too. Thanks for the belly laffs.

Yes, we are technically challenged here too. I know there are soooo many things my puter can do, I just don't know how to make it do them! Oh well, I am satisfied knowing how to get here, my email and a couple of other places.

Resist technology, I say. I only want to pick up the cell phone if it rings, or call AAA if I have a flat tire. My kids are on facebook, but I do not care to read about a kid's roomate's brother's breakup with his girlfriend, so I stopped going there.
I have seen the crack berry addicts and it's not pretty. Who wants to be available 24/7? Not me.

I always prided myself on no one knowing where I'd be at any particular time. Works well if you have your own business.

I did go back to school to learn the new technology. You know when they say "you need a degree to figure out how to hook this up". Well, I've got one. I could be doing a lot more with it than I am but I'm happy with my life as it is.

I've got Gps, a smart phone, an ipod, and a facebook acct only so I can see photos of the kids. Never would I sign up for tweeting, and don't call me, I'll call you. You can leave a message.
