TMT

Happy Autumn Everyone

The title of this post is TMT. To me that means "too much technology".

What seems to come naturally to the younger generation takes me a lot longer to figure out.

Have you noticed that whatever new appliance, electronic gadget or even a car comes with new technology you have to learn.

Some time ago my sons decided I needed to have a Smart Phone.
I told them you must be kidding, I'm not "smart" enough to use it.

Their reply, "It's easy, Mom. Besides you need to download the app to get our flight arrivals."

Okay, I got myself a Smart Phone, which of course doesn't come with written directions aside from how to turn it off and on.

I basically figured out most of it and did well with apps and inserting phone contacts. My problem was to make and answer calls. Isn't that why you have a phone?

It was totally different form my old flip phone. I went to You Tube and found a helpful site that showed me how to use it. Thank goodness for people who educate on You Tube.

I pretty much was getting used to the Smart Phone when my son bought himself a newer updated I-phone and decided I needed to acquire his used one.

Oh no, I thought, here we go again. So he set it up with my carrier and explained the basics to me. Then he decided I needed to have the Waze app instead of using my Garmin. Well, it took me awhile to figure that one out and then found out it used up my battery real quick. I solved that by plugging it in to the car charger. My next problem was I couldn't turn it off. So after a call to my son for a tutorial I finally learned how to do that. (I still use my Garmin too).

Since then I found it is easier to text on the I-phone than my older phone and even learned how to send pictures, yay for me.

Just the other day I dragged out my old Fibit and charged it up and updated it. This time I linked it to my I-phone and also found out there is a pedometer on the phone within the Health icon.

So hopefully I'm set with technology for awhile, because my brain needs a rest.

Hope everyone has a good week  and the flood weary residents in North Carolina can resume some normalcy in their lives.
