Welcome to those who have not entered the electronic world. I have noticed that many older or advanced individuals are refusing to enter the world of electronic. Many can remember having dictation as a part of their job, making copies meant a carbon copy, and music was done on 8 track tapes or cassettes. I for won remember the cassette tapes, VHS movies (beta), the first computer Commador 64 and first gaming system ATARI (mine still works), first cell phone (remember the one Zack Morris used while in school), and pagers. Today's youth are accustomed to ipods, DVD, cds and most recently blue ray, most teens have a cell phone. Our computers are obsolete after a few years and our cell phones have gone all advanced.
The most current is books on what appears to be a ipod for reading. I for one will not be getting those, I understand that it saves paper, and space but really opening a book to read and get invested in the words is the best part. Not reading as if it were on a computer but flipping through the pages and analyzing for years to come that is what I look forward too.
Today's society has become so technological that many get frustrated with the concepts and gadgets that the content or knowledge is lost in the struggle. I think in many ways I will remain apart of the technological world but have a toe in the simple relaxed portion when it comes to certain aspects of technology.
I love my digital camera and use it often. But I do have a 35 mm that I use with blaxk n white film. I enjoy changing the image during development and creating a different version of the picture. Brings me back to the roots of photography.
So remember to grasp technology, embrace your knowledge, advance or update frequently and open a real book.
