Blog about technology

Well.... there are two ways I look at it.
First - yippee, bravo, and cool - I get to email my sisters who are in other states in the middle of the night or early morning. I can have 3 way conference calls with my sisters. I can download music from itunes that reminds me of a different time with a different set of friends (get out of my life why don't you babe..oh, oh, oh. Cause you don't really love me. You just keep me hanging on....) :)

Second - I consider myself a technology widow on most days. What does my husband's computer have that I don't have. A mouse? So what!! So, there are lots of disadvantages to technology too. And for the people who just cannot LIVE without their cell phones, I always think of what my dad said when we tried to get him to buy one - "Why would I want your mom to be able to call me at anytime?" He now has one, but doesn't use it. And people talking on their phones during storytimes. Come on, when did that become okay to do?
I'll stop now.

Lovely picture I found using color match. But again, why would I use this tool? It was very nice looking at lots photos that matched the shade of blue I chose. But?.......



Flickr- the tools are fun (the billboard and trading card for example). For personal use, the rest of Flickr doesn't seem relevant to me. I think it is more beneficial to photographers and artists and to people who want to share photos with other family members. So, overall not too impressed with Flickr.
