Might I first say that in general technology kind of stresses me out. I don't like things that seem overwhelming and that I will never understand- the ongoing barrage of changing technology on the internet is one of those things. My friend and I once made a home video spoof on getting your license for my husband. They had this archaic computer- one of those really huge, old dinosaurs that was destined for the junkyard and in the video I repeatedly hit the thing. It may have fallen on the floor- I really can't remember. If it didn't, it should have.
For me this reaction is really not too far off base. My husband got me a Cricket (cool scrapbooking machine) a few years ago (in reality maybe like four), and I have just recently began using it because all the buttons overwhelmed me.
So having a blog is a little over my head. Thinking about helping my husband create a website for his business kind of blows my mind. I consider the fact that I recently listed something on Craig's List amazing!
I do have goals concerning technology. I need to figure out how to get my husband a website for his business, and I need to get him a Facebook page for his website. But despite these goals, I don't see myself jumping fully into this tech-savvy world. I don't have texting and can't picture myself ever reading a book off of a Kindle.
I do currently type my books instead of handwrite them like I did in high school, but reading off the computer screen kind of drives me crazy, and I actually print the pages for editing purposes. And even though I plan on figuring out how to self publish on the internet, I don't think I'll feel like I've actually published something unless I can hold the book myself.
I'm not saying there aren't things I don't love about technology- there are. I have recently become addicted to checking out other people's blogs- all of which are way cooler than mine. But basically, I'm using their blogs to find out how I can do things simpler. Go figure:)
