Technology is for people like me , who don't understand it and think it's AMAZING.
I love to read about the newest satellite phones and rockets and robot surgery. I think the fact that I don't have time to find out how any of it works helps keep it mysterious. I mean I'm one of these people who thinks that the Solitaire cards bouncing when you win is high-tech. "It's like they're FROZEN in TIME" I say every time, and I watch the whole thing.
I do worry that this makes me too much of a sucker for advertising, though. I do know how to use all of that stuff, but maybe being astounded by it makes me vulnerable. (What? it holds 4,000 songs? I don't even know that many songs! I must learn them and then possess this)
(What? I can TALK to this computer directions lady and she'll tell me where to drive? I'll pay anything!)
(Sweet Baby Jesus! It's like that stain never even happened)
So, I've decided to mute commercials and think about other things while they're on. Like how Bill Gates makes those cards dance.

But you have a blog so you can't be that tech impaired.
