I am 100% done with technology
I am not very technologically knowledgeable. Maybe it's my age and that I didn't grow up with using it intuitively like my kids, maybe it's just how my brain works. But in general I know how to use it, but not any of the deeper how it works, how to muck about with the coding or anything like that. Between a lack of money and desire I don't tend to have the newest tech or even upgrade what I have that often. I have an ancient desktop, a 4 or 5 yr old laptop and an ipod touch 4. No tablet. No smart phone. (No cellphone of any kind, actually.)
While there are a number of games I play on my ipod, its primary use is for checking my mail and the weather, some googling and, most importantly, an ereader, because my brain is stupid and I have trouble shutting it off so I wind up reading old familiar fanfics to try to soothe it before I can fall asleep.
Of late a few of my apps were hanging and not working so I updated my ipod last night which turned out to be a HUGE mistake. Now nearly everything will either not load or crash within a minute of loading. *sigh* Which means I'll be spending most of the afternoon trying to figure out how to either undo the update or.. I don't even know.
Ugh. Technology.
