Usually, if you can persuade the phobic that the gismo will not blow up, no matter how many wrong keys or whatever he or she presses, the problem solves itself.Dave Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08430484174826768488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1980374748220249244.post-53522296140180726472012-05-10T21:31:51.073-07:002012-05-10T21:31:51.073-07:00hehe...that's very cool..It’s meant to assist ...hehe...that's very cool..It’s meant to assist and make things simpler... and sometimes you just wonder... made me think of my mom who's really struggling with some of that new technology...the problem is you can't get far without anymore..Claudiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03011763027311966186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1980374748220249244.post-5474335698304398502012-05-10T21:25:59.201-07:002012-05-10T21:25:59.201-07:00It is very difficult for some people.

Older adults tend to be a lot more wary of it all and don't seem too keen to learn it or, they are scared of breaking it. <br />I think it's all fabulous and fun but, as with all things, kept in moderation and not allowed to take over our real life.<br />Great take on the prompt Hank :)Daydreamertoohttp://daydreamertoo.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1980374748220249244.post-20305567793118541912012-05-10T18:22:35.397-07:002012-05-10T18:22:35.397-07:00I know some people too who have a computer but are...I know some people too who have a computer but are basically afraid of it, who have a basic cell phone (and turn it off most of the day because they say they don't need it) and desire nothing more. I even know people (horrors) who are scared to try a blog.

All thumbs. I also felt the trepidation that you felt, though it's strange since I've worked in computers for over 20 years. But I took a 5 year hiatus to teach, and when I got back it was amazing how much had changed. Then I finally got the smart phone. ... fell in love again! :-) <br /><br />Your poem is wonderful in how it captures those first moments when technology both fascinates and scares us, until we finally just it as they way it is.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08784125345525784337noreply@blogger.com
