I pretend I'm adept and keeping up with the times. But I'm also the person who has a cracked phone screen 80% of the time.
I can't:
- get my old music on my new phone.
- upgrade my home computer without losing what is currently on my computer.
- find where my files are on "the cloud"
- figure out where the heck the "cloud" is.
- back up everything on my phone.
There is a bunch of stuff I do know about technology. I also try and learn as much everyday about what is coming next. I don't have to learn how to do it. I don't even have to use it. But I do think it's important to learn what is going on outside the bubble of my world.
Recently, I bought a Sudko puzzle book. There are days when I think my brain is used for nothing more than rote memorization of the things I've already done. By engaging our brains, we keep them active.
The phone that I own is now considered "older" - it's almost 3 years old.
Daily I receive a message stating "Your backup has failed".
My inital instict is to want to scream at my phone: I KNOW it's failed - I can't figure out how to change the memory settings, not pay anything and keep all my pictures and videos on running on this device I carry around in my hand.
We are a society of wanting MORE. Faster. Cheaper. Better.
But what you realize is that while you are out there searching for Faster. Cheaper. Better., what you have works really well.
Some systems don't need a back up. Some clouds have nothing to do with the weather. Others do. I live in Denver, we don't have clouds here.
