Recently, I made the "big move" i.e. from a shoddy Blackberry (which was a top of the class blackberry just a year ago but now is.. well, shoddy!) to an Apple iPhone. It was a drum roll moment because it was an i-ohmyGOD-Phone! I could not stop dancing for a whole day. The madness reached to a level where my productive day was about clicking photo's and Instagram-ing them. This went on for a while.
It took me about four months to figure out my 'iPhone' and understand the apps and how to work them. It was getting easier and fun and then...BAM!
iOS7 came out. Now, I am not saying I hate it. I love it! Even though updating my phone took a million years and a couple of grey hair, I was happy again. It was like having a new phone without really buying one in a span of six months. Pretty good that analogy.
Suddenly I was Alice in Wonderland (I tend to be dramatic, so the personality of Mad Hatter but the face of Alice, she is prettier), new things to discover and oh my GOD it was good.
But was it? Not so much.
Why? Because I am clueless about Technology or as I say Tech-NO-Logy! I did not know that the power can be saved on an iPhone by a mere click of a button. I did not know how to activate iMessage! I did not know that the Clocks seconds ticker moves throughout. I did not know that the location of images is on my phone waiting to be noticed. Boy, those are a lot of "I did not know's".
I realize that there are a lot of other things I don't know about my phone but I am making a conscious effort.
I am on #Mashable all the time. They are so amazing!
Technology is becoming a huge part of our lives so all you technologically handicapped people like me, there is hope. Keep at it.
One last thing though, if you have a Android or an iPhone and you are Mr/Ms. Butter Fingers I feel your pain. Every time that precious phone slips out of your hand a mini heart attack happens. The klutz in us along with the technology handicap is a mother of all Gods disaster. Try silicon phone covers, they work. Tried and tested.
That is all from this klutz/technology newbie.
Peace out.
xoxo
