Technology-Out with the old, in with the new

Brian:  I'm very interested in technology and have heard several different speakers on the subject.  Then, I look at the technology group and am amazed at all of the different tools available.  There are many more that I don't even know about.  It's a challenge to keep up with it.  It is something that we have to keep learning about.  It will keep our minds fresh, right?

Linda:  This has been a great laptop-very durable, nice big screen, just a workhorse.  I filled up the memory with too many photos and it seems that as the laptop gets older, it has a harder time with the newer applications.  Mine would have lasted longer if I would have deleted more off of the hard-drive.  One of the tech speakers I heard recently, said that you should replace your computer if it is more than two years.  I have been getting about 4 years out of mine.

Sheila: You are right about that.  More and more of the people I work with prefer communicating with e-mail and texting.  I want to learn about podcasting but haven't gotten to that yet.  Then there is video, RSS feeds, SEO - the list goes on and on. 

Tony & Darcy:  I started learning my technology by taking it along in the car (only when I'm a passenger ;-)) and looking at it during the ride.  I learned more about using features on my phone, digital camera & laptop that way.  I also have worked on it during inspections, while waiting in the car or at doctor visits.  When you think about it, most of us spend a lot of time waiting somewhere.  I did a lot of research before I purchased my tablet and will share what I learned in an upcoming post.  It will take awhile to compose.  Look for that soon.  Thanks for stopping by!

Fran:  What can I say?  I'm a techie wannabe. :-)

Chuck:  That is one of the benefits that I am really enjoying.  My last laptop was heavy.  I just have to be careful I don't slouch while I am looking at the smaller screen on my tablet.
