Technology It Is Nice, But Not if I Have to Do It

I truly have no real interest in technology.  I never learn all the features on my phones.  I don't care how my computer works, just that it does, and even though I have a lot of apps on my phone, I only use about three.  

I have gotten to the point that there are only about 15 blogs or websites I visit regularly.  I don't search the web except if I need a question answered, and I don't really keep up with the latest and greatest.  

For the last two days my phone has not downloaded emails, or let me browse, so I was anxious for my son to come tonight since we have the same phones.  Turns out that I had deactivated my data network. I am not sure how I did that.  I now know how to do that, and fix it when I do. 

My oldest also set me up with Spotfly which I am enjoying very much right now.  I am listening to Creedence Clearwater Revival.  I will never get to sleep!

He wanted to set me up with Google Chat because one of my friends asked him too, but I told him not to bother.  Facebook chat is good enough for me.  I chat when I am on there and then I turn everyone off.  I don't want people to be able to reach me too many ways.  

I am sure he will fix me up with more things over Spring Break.  He does that all the time, but then I forget to use them.

 

What Wonderful Technology

A storm woke me up in the middle of the night last night and I when I went back to sleep I had a horrific nightmare, so I decided to stay awake and read. The only thing handy was my Kindle2, but the only thing on there right now that I wanted to read was a sample I had downloaded last week.

I pulled the sample up and read it, and really enjoyed the story, even though I am pretty sure I read it out of the library a couple of years ago. When I finished the sample, I still was not sleepy, and I was back to nothing handy I wanted to read. I laid there for a few minutes and decided that if I got up to look for something I wanted to read I would probably 1) wake myself up so much I would never get back to sleep; 2) risk waking up the oldest and not get back to sleep. I was getting extremely frustrated.

Then I thought, what am I so frustrated about. I turned my K2 back on, went to the end of the sample I had just completed and clicked the button and before I could get my pillows adjusted the full book was there for me to read. I read until about 6:30 a.m., then I slept until my alarm went off at 7:25 a.m. What wonderful technology.
