Lost in the dust

Tuesday, January 8th, 2008

I consider myself pretty net-savvy and somewhat advanced technologically. I participated in online socializing before it was popular; I blogged before it was called blogging; I knew how to write (simple) webpages before every Tom, Dick, and Sally in college had one. Heck, my husband and I met via the internet (the snowstorm helped too) 10 years ago. TEN years. Gah I’m getting old.

However, when it comes to these trendy electronic gadgets (is there such a thing as non-trendy gadgets?), I’m lost. Completely, hopelessly, totally lost.

I’ve never owned an ipod or mp3 player. And what is this thing you call an iphone?

This wii thing? I’m embarrassed to say, the last real game console I played with had a game called Super Mario. I don’t even know what it was called. Nintendo, probably the first generation..

Everyone and their mother has a cell phone that has a camera, and check email with their phone, and blog with their phone. They SMS their friends, listen to music, track their stocks and twitter and whatever other uber high tech stuff that this little tiny sleek device can do. My cell phone? I can call people, and oooh I can do 3-way calling (but I haven’t needed it and have never tried it). There’s a couple of games on it, as well as a dozen or so ring tones.

Just don’t call me granny OK?

I guarantee you’ll laugh until you pee
