Reflections On Technology

                                               Everyday is a brand new day,
                                               everyday is a journey.


When we in darkness walk,
    Nor feel the heavenly flame,
  Then is the time to trust our God,
    And rest upon His name.
A. M. TOPLADY.



One of the main things I had to get used to was technology. I am not a techno friendly kind of gal. It really was a learning curve for me as I struggled with all of the latest gadgets. It's not like I can have all sorts of techno items, most likely only one or two will suffice. I love having a social network whether that is Pinterest, Yahoo, Facebook or Twitter. 

With that in mind, it is very important to me to be able to access the internet. I still want to write on my blog, tend to my Ministry and manage my Chronic Illness Group. Everything else is a plus, but not necessarily a need. 

As much as I want technology, it also scares me. I'm not as smart as the youngsters nowadays. I struggle, usually taking me several attempts in total frustration, but I know it is something I need to learn. I think my biggest fear is that wherever I choose to live, there will not be good service. Another thing is that the area might not have the technology available like Wifi or a specific brand. I learned that when we moved to our current location.

The technology road has certainly been a wild ride for me, especially as I try to navigate through the unfamiliar territory. I don't do technology well, especially when it comes to the jargon. Honestly, I'm not exactly going out of my way to learn it, either. That's very revealing, because everyone can learn something if they put their mind to it. How badly do you want it?

This is an area that I find the most intriguing and one I need more than anything else. Everything I do involves technology. Without it, I can't do any of my work so learning it has become an essential part of my life. In today's world, any information we seek, can be found with the click of our keyboard. Not sure how to do something? Just google it. That is how I have been learning. I know I will not become an expert, but I can learn enough to get by and that's fine with me.

Have a blessed day everyone.
