It has been 6 weeks since my last post. I really must apologize to all of my diligent readers, but I am frustrated by my inability to keep up with the quick changes in our current technology. I have spent all of this time sorting photos of our honeymoon and pics of 46th Street, for the purpose of scanning and inserting them into a slide show. I thought that I knew how to do it. But suddenly I get a notice of a disconnect between my scanner and the computer.
The more I try to keep up with the new technology, the more obsolete I feel. The changes in tech is so rapid, that by the time I learn to cope with something new, an upgrade is brought out. I have Windows 2000 in my computer. 4 changes were introduced by Microsoft. Now we have the introduction of Windows 7. It’s being promoted now and I believe that it has caused my computer to break down my connection for scanning photos into my computer. Is this a planned action to force me to buy the new program? I’ve got enough trouble keeping up with cell-phone use and other tech changes like texting. This alone has changed the communication system. Nobody writes anymore. Scripting is unknown to our kids. Vocabulary will change to text-words. Letters from family and friends are a thing of the past. Emails are quicker and now we have Facebook and Twitter and cloud programs. Who can keep up with all of this? Not me, at this age of my life. I am really obsolete.
I intended to write about our honeymoon, but I had to send this apology. It is off my chest. I will get into the good old days and write our life’s history soon. When I get connected, I will make slide shows of post-war photos.
