technology

ok, so i heard on the morning business report this morning a piece about women and technology......that women USED to lag behind men in terms of embracing technological wonders like cell phones, email, palm pilots, etc....but that women are now catching up.......as i get older (read this as becoming more of a curmudgeon....) i find that i prefer less, rather than more technology.......i do not keep on my cell phone......anybody who wants me knows that i am at either of 2 numbers......i do turn it on in the car if and only if i am expecting a call from a child who needs a ride.......i did not replace my food processer when it died.........i just chop with a knife....imagine.........i did not even bother to replace the inserts in my daytimer......what dates we need are on the calender in the kitchen....the one where we also keep rtrack of whose turn it is to set the table and do dishes...........when my book club suggested that a certain book was available for download onto a palm pilot, it just laughed.......i have no use for a palm pilot.......it amuses to think that some of my emails are sent by palm pilot.........but read on an old-fashioned p.c................on the other hand....i spent quality time on sunday sending actual handwritten notes of encouragement to friends, as well as overdue thank yous.............some things are best left low-tech...............
