Technology is driving me insane. I used to have a landline which worked. You could leave messages if I wasn't in and I could do the same to others. I could do 1471 to find out last caller and everything in my world felt fine. I had a mobile which worked perfectly well. I could receive and make calls send and receive messages when I was out and about.
NOW My mobile rarely has a signal. I have a "SMART" phone which is supposed to-
1. Make and receive calls
2. Send and receive emails
3. Enable what's app
4. Enable messenger
5. Take and store photos
6. Send same photos
7. Enable Facebook
and probably other things which I do not want or need.
What is the problem with this cornucopia of availability?
A ,it is all too small . I am 79 and have swollen fingers due to arthritis. Who decided that making things smaller and smaller was a good Idea? Whose fingers have shrunk?
Saving my sanity Part TWO
My new land line (bought for me by my granddaughter) I am sure will be great if only I could "set it up". Perhaps the all the functions will be useful but all I want is to pick it up and listen to the caller when it rings.It frequently tells me "Time is not set" but I have no idea how to set the time and anyway I look at the clock on the wall to tell the time.
Sometimes when I am on one phone ( there are two receivers) the other one rings and then I lose both calls. I could go on but I have tried to read the instructions but was drowned in the jargon. I am sure well almost sure that it said somewhere that if a pressed the right buttons it would sing and who knows maybe it dances when I am in bed.
Saving my sanity Part the THIRD
I was advised to put the apps - (a word I've only heard and can't begin to know the meaning of) (( shouldn't end with preposition)), to continue, to put the apps on my tablet , (by the way that's not medication) . I will continue assuming that people who are reading this will know what all these words mean.( and I thought learning French was hard it was a doddle compared to IT.) I thought of making a joke about IT being it but I want to plant some bulbs and as far as I know I can do in reality.
Any way , I put the what's app app on my tablette ( does anyone know the correct spelling ) and guess what? messenger also appeared and then froze the screen.
There is more to tell but having spent the first hour of my day on face book reading bollotics ( yes that's how you spell it)
I am going to make a coffee and put in a spoonful of brandy and cut a slice of my birthday cake which I bought for myself and plant some snowdrops. I might cry into my coffee , I like it salty.
PS It didn't work. I am really insane now.
