I wanted them to charge it up for me while I ran some errands. I gave the girl my phone and she started giggling.
"What?" I said.
"It's just (giggle giggle) so cute. Ah look, wow, its doesnt even say Verizon Wireless, it just says Verizon. Wow! Ha Ha."
At this point a couple of other employees gathered round to see my mysterious wonder.
"Wow, this thing still works?" one of them asked.
"Uh, yeah, I mean, it did until now."
"I'll just put it right here," she said. "oh, actually it doesnt really matter, no one is going to (ha ha) try to steal this."
"You all can kiss my ass!" I said, as I winked at them a sashayed out the store with my sassy self.
And that's me in a nutshell, as far as technology goes. I'm kind of a grandma. Last to get a cell phone, dont own a microwave, dont even want to know anything about Twitter, just learned what a Wii was like 2 months ago. (why would anyone do yoga with a Wii instead of going to an actual class?? I dont understand.....). Hell, the fact that I have a Facebook page is pretty astounding. I prefer film over digital. Home-made over mass produced. I can barely make my way through Word and the other programs? Forget it! I like writing letters - so I tend to write long emails. I prefer HUMAN contact, so I leave long voice messages in place of that. I hate texting, but I do it anyway. And Smackberry's? Well, I just dont think I'm ready for that.
So, when I walked in today with my new phone, with the ability to check emails (it was getting really old running into Kinko's all the time) - I got a "welcome to the modern world comment" from the hubby.
So send me an email - I'll send you one back from my shiney, NEW cell phone. I feel so cutting edge! :)
