me.) Most folks who know me well know that I'm something of a LUDITE. Not a big fan of
technology. I often feel that I've somehow been born in the wrong century.
Before we had so many ways to "be in touch without ever being face to face" life seemed more
peaceful and personal. I remember growing up in a small community where everyone knew
everyone else. Very few cars meant that people walked to get where they wanted to go (they'd
laugh their socks off to see us PAYING to go to the gym to exercise.!) With no air conditioning,
people sat on the porch to cool off...so they talked to the folks walking by.
Telephones had party-lines, so if you were nosy, you could listen in and REALLY get to know the
neighbors!
Now, even my children are so busy that they'd rather have a e-mail that they can see whenever it's
convenient, than a phone call that might interrupt what they are doing.
With all that being said, I had made my major life goal to get to my grave without learning to use
a computer. I HAVE FAILED!!!! It finally became apparant that the shop had to be able to join
the modern world. (I'd like to point out , however, that pencils still work when computers go down!)
Therefore, I only reluctantly joined the modern world in August 2014.
So....I've been computing all of 8 months....and suddenly I think total strangers might want to
know what I'm doing and thinking about. See the evil lure of technology?
