Sometimes I can't believe I've let myself fall so far behind on the latest and greatest of the crazy trends...
1. Voicemail- I do not have voicemail on my home OR cell phone... given, when I did have voicemail, I would let them accumulate until I felt it was worth my time to listen to them (minimum of 6)... but now that I have my kewl tween phone that is too complicated for me to use, I just cannot figure out how to set up voicemail...
*Confession- It's nice to not have voicemail... you never have to call anyone back! "You rang? Oh, I had no idea!"
2. Texting- rarely do I text- I DID when I had a good, old fashioned flip phone that offered some measure of privacy... but now, how do you gossip about the person sitting next to you when a text just appears on your phone? RISKY, fans, VERY RISKY! Obviously someone with nothing interesting going on in their life invented the iphone.
3. Cameras... now I know these were invented quite some time ago, but I just don't keep up with mine very well. We bought this hot pink camera on a whim one day to take a picture of something... and then we lost it! OH WELLZ! We never remember to take a camera on a trip or fun adventure. I still have a good memory... I can remember what we did. Plus, when you're gallivanting around a big city, nothing screams "HEY! I'm a tourist!" quite like someone taking pictures of the naked cowboy or a mime painted silver...
4. Blu-Ray- what is this anyway? Can someone tell me? I've heard it's like a DVD player- we have one of those, but I have only used it about twice in a twelve month span of time.
5. The IPOD! I downloaded (is this the correct term?) a song from itunes for the first time a month or two ago... it was so confusing, I have yet to try again...
6. Computers- I have no idea how computers work. Thank goodness for my friends.
I
would like to note that I have mastered the DVR. Couldn't live without it. If given the choice between cell phone and DVR... never to see one of the two again, I would most definitely choose DVR!
The frightening thing is, I assume there are even more recent inventions than these things... but how would I know when I'm waltzing around Sephora, lounging around the house reading a book, or cooking a fabulous meal?
Take note, fans,
simplicity is the key to life. Plus I've heard all these inventions cause brain tumors.
Happy rest of the weekend!
XOXO,
UB
