I wasn't expecting to be 28 years old and feeling like I am behind on the times....

social networks are the hot accessory that I don't understand yet

When I was in college the big thing to use to stay in touch was AIM. When my siblings went to college I was introduced to MySpace. I thought I was “in”, I thought I was cool. I was later informed that MySpace is now lame and the hot place to be is Facebook. I joined up and was instantly poked by my brother. In real life this would result in a pink belly from his older sister, but now he is thousands of miles away and can poke me all day. I seriously considered driving out to kick his butt when he sent his zombie army after me…..

What the %$#@ is HTML code?

I am a blogger. I love doing it. I type and hit enter and tada! my words are out there in the internet universe hopefully making people laugh. But as time goes on, I discovered I wanted more. I wanted colors! layouts! pictures! videos! and that’s when my simple paint by numbers world came crashing down. To make my blog look just slightly cooler than the next blog I had to know HTML code. I would go in there and think that typing in “green” would get me green fonts. To my horror I would realize that I had made EVERYTHING green! I would spend the rest of the night yelling like a SNL character at my laptop, “FIX! IT! FIX IT!”

the constantly changing iWorld

I will be walking through Best Buy and stop to check out an ipod. As I stand there holding it I will think “you know what? I’m going to do it, I’m going to buy an ipod!” Then an employee will come over and inform that even though this model was revealed today it is already obsolete and by being seen holding it I am officially uncool. Don’t even get me started on iPhones. You wanna see my phone? It slides and is shiny so that I can use it as a mirror. It doesn’t dance or help me have babies, it’s just a phone! You know why Steve Jobs is losing weight? He’s putting a little piece of him in each new iGadget and years later we will have little Terminator Steve Jobs running around stealing our wallets….

Because like anything else, it's fallible

Computers crash, phones get lost and a myriad of other things can go wrong with tech things. If you break your arm and the doctor takes care of you. If you break your piggy bank, you still have the money inside of it. If your computer breaks? You may just be SOL. Hopefully you do back-ups, but because we now depend on technology for so much, losing everything on your computer is devastating and stressful.

hahaha. Nice photoshopping on the head of the “will code for HTML” guy. I’ve seen that same guy on the Google before, and used him in one of my guides But I like your photoshopped head version.
