SMART????

Yesterday, I joined the ranks of millions.  I finally came out of the dark ages and got my first smart phone.  It's taught me something already.  I'm not very smart.

I was perfectly happy with my old phone.  I could talk and text - I didn't need all that other stuff.  However fate stepped in and when we were in Galveston I laundered my old phone.  It didn't like it at all.  Unfortunately for me, I relinquished my upgrade to my grandson at Christmas and wasn't eligible for a new phone and would have had to pay a ridiculous amount of money unless I waited.  Instead I bought a 'burner' phone and some minutes to get me through the crisis.  

For someone who isn't very techo, a smart phone can render you stupid in no time at all. Others, my nephew who, of course, is of the techo generation, assured me I would become smart with a week or so.  He ran through about six thousand things I could do with my new phone.  So far, I know how to call, text, retrieve messages and take a picture. At least I think so.  Not bad for me.  He downloaded a flashlight - I guess so I could see what I am or am not doing.  

Just hope I remember all those things tomorrow when trying to meet up with PK in the airport.  Wish me/her luck.

See you later for more Aimless Ramblings.
