Experimenting with Technology

Well it is embarrassing but its the truth "I am SCARED of technology and the area around it" It may include the latest gadgets or some innovative stuff or even a normal template change (I messed up Lopa's favorite cooking blog template unknowingly!!! ) hahah

I don't know why I am like this...

Well the inspiration for me to write this post is that I could successfully look for a better template and apply the same to my blog.. hahahha This is like a nursery going kiddo being able to write a A and being damn excited about it...

My husband just left for Nl and he was like I am gonna get some real good gift from there.. I was like wht???? n he excitedly said probably an Ipad... I was like nooooooooooooooooooo please dont do this.. He was like i will get u an Iphone...I screamed yelled..no no please dont waste money on such things.. I will never do justice to it. For anyone else of my age this would have been the most exciting thing someone getting an Ipad.. But for me...I am scared to use these gadgets. I am very careless with them too

You will laugh when I say that I don't know how to type a message on my Hubby's E71 I am very comfortable with mine. He has google maps, gtalk, everything on his mobile and is always available on the go. He reads news on his way to office, checks his mails and is connected. I believe in the times of today everyone is tech savvy atleast to this level and beyond. Its the time, work and interest that is driving people. But I think I am a part of the small community who feel that those times were better when Apple and Blackberry were just fruits. hahah
I am being continuously persuaded to explore my designing and creative skills with some good animation course. You ask me to draw on paper, paint I will happily do but computer no ways...I am a handicap.

My post will surely raise one doubt how do I survive in the professional and competitive world of today. Well I know only how much is needed and the sign of a good manager is the one who does not do stuff himself but gets it done.hahhaah (only an excuse to hide my technical incapability)
Have a laptop to do my normal work. I will go to gmail and facebook but will not try fring or ovi even when my phone allows lotta interesting stuff to do.

My bro left for US 7 years back and since then I have been pushing my mom to learn the basics of e-mailing n chatting. But in vain. When I show her pictures on my laptop she will ask which button to press now :) Her sis, my aunt is a tech savvy n has an acct on fb too.Her work always demanded her familiarity with computers and even after retiring her interest has kept things going.

My work has forced me to learn many things on technical end and I am happy about it but the fact remains that I have technophobia hahaha. I am not sure when I will get over this. If I get over this in coming 3 months it will be beneficial as I can add something important in my Gifts list;) hahahha

here i fail again....Hetu just sent me a message saying she could not post a comment... I tried and failed...I could very well see the misalignment with this template.. and now this message posting issue brings me back to the regular templates... Oh how I wish this latest experiment would have been successful and I would have that chocolate template..... But I think I need to take some inspiration from the little ant to try try and try harder.. but arent technical stuff tougher than just climbing up...

  1. haha Nitu, you are mad.
    well about being creative on computer, even i am not, so we go there. I can paint with paper and colors but not with comp ;)

    And madam, why didn't you come to NL, why why why? :(
    And iPad was launched in NL only last week, so it is no where readily available, you have to book/ register for waiting list, that's the scenario here, so we got it from UK !

    But i bet you should try iPhone, i am using it for more than 2 years now, and i really love it.

    Lovely to see you blogging after ages !

    Ok, now we are not on talking terms as you didn't come to NL. So if you don't even reply to my comments, it's ok. Not talking ok?

  3. Haha, that's cool. Itw ill be so nice if you come here.
    Ofcourse you will stay with me. We will go around together, we will cook together and we will eat together :P

    About FV, remember we talked that it's taking so much time and is addictive and all? I finally blocked it yesterday, blocked FV, Cafe World both. Now FB page looks neat. And i hope i will be able to give my mind to things i want to do and don't get time.

    And yes, anytime for iPhone lessons babe ;)
