Lately I’ve started taking daily walks again and even taking the occasional picture, though now I use my phone rather than my camera. I would like to post the pictures, but I can’t figure out how to get them off my phone right now. In the past, I’d simply plug the phone into my computer and copy the pictures over. That doesn’t work anymore. In a pinch, I’d e-mail the pictures to myself, but that also isn’t working now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If I were the only person to have these sorts of problems, I’d crack it up to being a curmudgeonly Xer in a Zoomer’s world, but my husband says it’s not just me. Tech companies are always changing things for their own nefarious purposes. Sometimes those changes destroy functionality that we depend on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Big Tech giveth, and Big Tech taketh away. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Though I sometimes pass myself off as technology-averse, I’m not really. I just wish that technology would stand still for a minute, because I have better things to do than to keep relearning tasks that I mastered eons ago. Maybe it’s easier for the young folks who have grown up in a constantly changing environment. They’re used to the sand shifting beneath their feet. But for those of us old enough to remember solid ground . . . .<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Oh yes, I really am a curmudgeonly Xer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But I will figure this phone thing out. I always do. And a moment later the technology will change again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
