On one hand, I really use and am glad to have all this modern technology. I use texting to send quick notes to people, but I try to use proper grammar and spelling. ( Although if you read my blog much you will notice I misspell words all the time. Most of the time it is just a typo) I use the computer a ton for my farm record keeping, on-line banking, email, and obviously blogging. I don't know that a fax machine is high tech by today's standards, but I think I send a fax at least once a week. It saves me tons of gas money and stamps.
On the other hand, I am not really great at it and that makes it scarey sometimes. The last two weeks have been "techno crazy" for me. First I upgraded away from this darn Windows Vista to Windows 7. That took about 4 days because it is such a huge down load. Then I had to move all my files from the old program to the new program. Again it was very time consuming. Not to mention how scared I was when I first realized all my stuff was not on my new Windows 7 program. A few moments of panic before I decided it had to be here someplace.
Then with a couple calls for technical help and wha la. I was on the phone with the guy long enough to know all about his family. His mother is American, his father is from China, she speaks fluent Chinese. They have 2 children, my tech and his teen sister. They own 4 hectors in California and grow sheep, make candles, and grow Dragon Fruit.
After all that, my hard drive was full! So I ran to town and bought a 1TB external hard drive. Today I moved everything I could over to my new drive. Another long tedious task. And as I type this, I am deleting all my pictures off my C drive. That alone will clear up 400 GB of my hard drive. I am fairly confident I will have them on this new external hard drive, but I will say it does make me nervous.
So after using my spell check, I find out that "texting" must not really be a word yet.
