Technology Is A Wonderful Thing - Isn't It?

[cosmicbike]

Now, not wishing to sound too much of a luddite, but 'tech' doesn't really 'do it' for me. I accept that it has made life easier, and I actually quite enjoy the Gadget Show, even if I often have no idea what they are on about. I like my Garmin, but if anyone can explain why it has suddenly stopped automatically uploading to Strava despite me downloading the latest 'thing' from the Garmin site I'd like to know....

So why the post? Well, I've just found the latest version of Windows Media Player has automatically collected all my music files, and is happily playing them in the background on my laptop. Never knew it could do that....

Anyone else either flummoxed by tech, or been suitably impressed by what can be done?

I haven't quite got over the shock of seeing my first Etch-a-Sketch back in the early 1960s!

It is when you are not the family focal point in resolving technical issues .........

I'm at the halfway mark- some of my tech I fully embrace and adore- then there's other things (like catchup/ on demand tele) which I have no real idea how it works so I bury my head in the sand and hope it goes away!

I always keep up to date with all the latest technology.

I still like the simple things in life....riding along a quiet country lane singing to myself

Does everyone else who seeks out those same quiet country lanes feel as enthusiastic about your singing as you?

At 60 plus a bit, I embrace most technology, although some uses of that tech', like Twatter, I abhor.

Twitter is good for keeping up to date with certain things though.

..... And half of them will probably still prefer playing with the box!!
