This is my latest tech gadget – my new mobile phone!
It’s been a long time since I last updated… my last phone’s only extra feature was a camera (which had poor resolution by today’s standards). Now that my old trusty phone gave up last week, it was time to go to something new.
At least this one has a few more features; calendar, MP3 player, 2 megapixel camera and GPS navigation. It’s all a bit too flashy for me at the moment.
Well, if nothing else, as the technology coordinator at my school, I walk around now looking as if I have a little more credibility…
… let’s not mention how long it took to unlearn how to do the basics from my old phone and achieve them on this one (yeah, I know, I didn’t read the instruction manual).

New phones and new technology…there just never seems to be an end to it all. Trying to keep up with all these new contraptions certainly keeps the mind active and the wallet empty.
I know how you feel about your new phone and trying to explore all of it’s functions……like you ,I do not read the instruction booklet and then because off it I usually do something or press a button I shouldn’t have resulting in having to phone customer support and feeling embarrassed when I feel obliged to inform them that I could’t be bothered to read the instructions because I am a Visual Learner.
As every adult already knows ….if all else fails ….ask a child. They seem to have an innate ability to solve any and usually the most difficult technical problem.
By the way can someone tell me how to set the timer on my vcr so I can record when I am away from home….I have had the thing forever and still have’nt figured it out.
Let’s keep on exploring and learning.
Good luck with your phone Robert.
