For today:
Just in case I come up with a signal between reading ‘Shorty Thompson, U.S. Marshall and lookng at this screen, I will post this. LOL

The internet is a gift, to some a curse. Us older folk find this very confusing and
frustrating at times, but love it when we have it available. Even with a background in the giant computers of IBM,
Burroughs and Hewlett/Packard The PC/Phone/tablet are a challenge to me.
I normally get problems solved but after a long period of trial. The
concept of windows is over whelming in terms of yesteryear, where today’s world
accept it as it’s HERE.
I have lived in homes with no inside toilet, but have never
lived in one with no electricity, although my family has. I lived with my
sister one summer using kerosene lamps and carried water from the spring. I accept electric lighting without giving it a
thought. Much like my grandkids easily step and jump thru the hoops of the new
devices with the ease I turn on/off our lights.
That is hard for me to understand or accept. I want to pick up a
phone without touching the wrong button and NOT know how to get the original back
without a lot of trial and error. I want to know why MA’s e-mails, addresses,
pictures (whatever it was) disappeared one day and the next was back on the
screen.
So while I am contemplating all this I will be watching from
time to time for a LOGO in the corner of this screen that says ‘YOU ARE CONNECTED
TO THE INTERNET”. I am proud of me for knowing that little signal is a LOGO, it
is, isn’t it? Or is it an emoticon, emoji or a symbol?
Anyway when I see one I will post this or try to comment.
I love being lost in this cyber world. NOT. Now that is cool isn’t
it, the NOT after a sentence. I’m cool!
Having said that,

Hey, were you spying on us yesterday? :) I get soooo frustrated when Tom asks me a "how-to" on his tablet … like he thinks I know the answer?
Yep, I'm in awe of how this 'stuff' comes naturally to little ones. Maybe they're just born smarter; or, no-one ever told them 'no.'
I could not agree more - I really admire people who KNOW the internet.
I am going to take this next week off for Christmas - but I just wanted to say MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Happy New Year!
Love, sandie
You're cool Jack. The more I learn about the Internet, the more I realize I don't know squat
My great-nephew whizzes around his ipad at lightening speed. I get dizzy just watching.
i love the internet but i have no idea how it works. i get frustrated easily. if it weren't for my hubby i'd never be able to figure it out. so i understand what you're saying. i particularly liked the analogy between kids today and those of us who are a bit older. i think you hit the nail on the head.
Its so fun to watch the wee one maneuver the Internet. But I found him the other day "dismissing" notices I was getting (like text messages and phone calls LOL). They came in as notices and he swiped them away. Why not? He probably thought they didn't pertain to him. I still don't know half of how it works but I'm glad it works (most of the time anyway).
