Tech things and I don't mix

My venting lol

Cable, wifi, TV, cell phones, apps
I cannot understand how to work them all
Then suddenly a sports game on a channel I don't have
Must pay more on top of 100 monthly bill already!
Cheap charging cords that do not last
Other cords are different sizes, must get many
All these things stealing more than another penny
Sign ups for everything, never ending list of passwords
Time consuming tech things are certainly not for me
I would go back to the old days with land line and regular TV
I get tired of the battles trying to do what needs to be done
I had an easier time writing/marketing on the old computer
I was one of the last people to get email, friends wondered why?
I know why...because tech things and I don't mix!

Same with me, although I do manage to utilize what I absolutely need. I'm just not at all impressed by an electric signal doing something that I can do anyway, albeit a bit slower... What is 'so cool' about that?!

Well, you're doing better than I Heidi. Our tv has so many doodads, I can't watch it, unless one of my kids or hubby uses the confusing (to me) controllers that have a zillion options that I cannot even see on them! My cell phone is still the magical flip phone, which still impresses me just fine! If they had cell phone rotary phones, I'd get one, lol! Technology and I don't mix well either :) Its a miracle I'm on this site, happy, user friendly Poetrysoup is a dream to me <3
