it’s been sometime since I posted anything. The main reason being that, due to my technical idiocy, I couldn’t work out how to do so. Like many other modern technologies I find this site confusing at not at all logical. It has so many things going on, most of which I do not understand or, I suspect, need. Today I have found out how to write this post almost by accident so am taking the time to write something. Who knows if I will be able to repeat the trick tomorrow.
This happens with many things I do using technology. My wife’s had the same car for over 3 years but there are still buttons I dare not press. The other day I pressed a button in error and switched the air conditioning on. I could not turn it off and spent the remainder of the journey freezing for the very cold air being blasted out.
The washing machine is another. I have given up trying to match the programmes to the washing instructions on many garments. I stick to one or two tried tried and trusted ones that, bar the odd colour change, seem to work.
And mobile phones, tablets and laptops? Even the simplest tasks seem to reinvent themselves themselves with a myriad of choices and offers. I like to think I can cope but ……. Only the other day I discovered I have an Instagram account. What is it, where did come from and how do I use it?
Having said that, when it works, modern technology helps life tremendously. But please, can we keep it as simple as possible?
