Okay, so I'm as techie as the next sixty year old - maybe even a bit more, with a Facebook page and a home network. But having recently acquired an iPhone, I realize how truly removed I've been from today's technology.The features on this phone boggle my mind. Wait, I can't call it a 'phone.' It's a 'wireless device' that has phone capability. Contacts, calendar, internet access, picking mail from several different email servers, taking pictures, texting with a QWERTY keyboard, posting pictures to Facebook, emailing pictures, iPod capability to view videos, listen to music, podcasts...on and on. I've only just scratched the surface and am told there are thousands of 'apps' for the iPhone.
Where have I been these last few years that all this technology has moved so quickly from conception to mass production? It's almost embarassing that I've been so out of it, that the capabilities of this device actually shock me! So, let's hear it for us Seniors, who remember the high tech days of the pager and the 'brick' mobile phone. And consider ourselves fortunate to partake and enjoy ~ even if it does take me five minutes to figure out how to answer a call!
