I'm not stupid, but technology sure makes me feel like I am! Currently, I have to get on my laptop to leave comments in blogger. We made no changes to the PC & I used it fine in the morning & that afternoon the comment boxes won't show me the submit button & the scrolling on the right to get to it won't work.

I know he uses forums and the like and as a last resort he actually asks the supplier/company. Bit like men don't do maps!!<br />Calm down and pour a Baileys and it will all go better. Pour a second one if you are still pent up and it will be event better!<br />xxHettiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16986816219598719681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4050114628537512248.post-12881630534335148302014-01-17T22:02:00.111+00:002014-01-17T22:02:00.111+00:00Hi Maggie, technology is wonderful when it works, ...Hi Maggie, technology is wonderful when it works, but it's a shame things go wrong all the time!

They only seem to confuse things much of the time.

Tod...Oh Maggie, I'm sorry but I am so laughing! Today's post did my soul good. I was reading & saying "Right" at every step of the way. Then read Mrs. A & Judy's comment - re: everyone & their cell phone. I have one of the oldest on the planet (too stupid to get a Smart Phone! Plus too expensive for what I'd use it for). I can manage to make calls & delete stuff on the phone, but that's it. Then I am challenged at every 'self-check' and won't use it if there's anyone behind me. (Fear of their swearing under their breath). I, like you, never felt I was unduly stupid, & worked with computers for 30 yrs (doing totally unrelated tasks to what I'm doing now for fun!). I had my husband come in & read your post - he's even more techno challenged than I. He manages to mess up the cable company's remote at least once a week, and so far, I've been able to scurry around & get it to work. Heaven knows when we'll have to get a tech out one day. We're nearly scared to death to purchase any new stuff for fear we won't know how to operate it. Sad thing: I am probably the 'geek' in our neighborhood. Now that is really scary!! Took 6 months to learn how to use our vehicle GPS - each one is different. He still won't use if I'm not in the car. We had the dealership program the Bluetooth features...we were too dumb! Thanks for such a great (albeit sad!) laugh tonight. I think most of our generation is in the same boat. Unfortunately, at our neighborhood, we don't have a child to do these things for us. We have to call a paid techie!!!

I got speakers for my computer and boy did they give me a lot of grief after threatening to throw them out the window they worked. I am sure they have a mind of their own.<br /><br />Hugs<br />Linda xxxLinda Simpsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15180736604435426888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4050114628537512248.post-78861423576781741702014-01-16T18:45:30.323+00:002014-01-16T18:45:30.323+00:00I laugh about technology.

It cracks me up that you can encounter that in this day and age... I mean everyone has a cell phone right?! So how can they not know how to operate an ATM? Cell phones are far more complicated than ATMs. Now that I've said it, no not everyone has a cell phone because I don't. I have no clue how to use one. I also know better than to stand in someone's way of using one. I have a Doug in my life to make the computer work. I have no patience with technology and will quickly admit defeat. I mean I have a Doug and all.

He was lovely when we all met him at the last WOYWW crop.<br /><br />If I have IT issues then I do tend to turn to the tech forums on the internet-they usually have the answer (though the air does turn blue and wine does get poured whilst all this happens!!).<br /><br />Love your snippets card too.<br />Thanks for visiting my desk already<br />kyla #30Kylahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13956374094795317880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4050114628537512248.post-34267547679508547742014-01-16T14:04:38.899+00:002014-01-16T14:04:38.899+00:00I sm so with you on all the points you have raised...I sm so with you on all the points you have raised. The number of times we have run up about a service not working properly and told no fault found and then miracle of miracle's within a day problem has been fixed. Coincidence my left foot!! <br />The other gripe is The doc is forever firing off letters of complaint and when he does eventually begrudgingly get a reply weeks down the line reading it is a mine field. Obviously worded by someone who does not have English as their first language and even worse sent without anyone else proof reading it!!<br />I remember years and years ago applying for a job which I didn't get and the rejection letter typed on a typewriter (see I said it was yrs ago) had 11 spelling mistakes in it. I fired a letter back off saying that if this was the calibre of staff they employed I would never have worked for them anyway!!<br />There I feel better now!! Hugs Mrs A.
