Technology, WHY?

 Photo of the day:

 

So for today:

During the day I see or think of something that would make a good blog entry, THEN I FORGET! Lately I have faced barriers that SHOULD NOT be complicated. Most 14 yr old kids could smile and touch the right spot or click the right ‘meme’ (what ever they are now).

I bitch and gripe all the time LATELY about changes.  I KNOW it is age, but still, that doesn’t solve the problem.

LATELY I have been trying to get my ducks in a row about the legal end of this house swap.  A few months ago I could have went into our county records and copied ALL I need.  Now I go there and find notes like:

ADDRESS CHANGED for REGISTER OF DEEDS, we are improving the system to prevent more errors and infringement of YOUR RIGHTS!!!!!  Scan this (and a cute little ???? is there) and get answers. Dang-it, I don’t scan stuff. Or call this number xxxxxxx. (I don’t talk on the phone!!!!)



When I finally get where I think I want to be,…..I AIN’T!!!

IMMA tell you, driving nails and sawing lumber still makes sense and  if I didn’t think this computer was necessary, I would throw it away!  LOL

BUT, but, It sure is easier to type a letter.  AND I must admit, when I find I have made a mistake on a document, it sure is easier to correct and reprint it.  AND YES, I even enjoy blogging, SOOOOO I will try to shut up and TRY to live with these well meaning youngsters who make all these changes to MAKE LIFE BETTER for this generation. HA!

I do relish the thought that if time goes on one day these same geniuses will be in the same boat I am in. ;-)


……………………………….WON’T THEY?????.................

Odd note: Oh yeah, I have heard about personal data being lifted from Old computers. So I did something lately. I burned an old laptop in our fire pit. I was shocked, it took less than 2 minutes to burn. All that was left was a skinny metal frame. Boy was I surprised that it even burned.
