"It's a trap!"
The name of this blog is for the very simple reason that it is "miraculous" that I have an online blog at all. I have always done my best to avoid technology and am only doing this as my hand has been forced - thanks to Learning 2.0 Basics training!
I do not have a Facebook account nor have I ever twittered! Further to this, I have only ever sent two, that's right two mobile phone text messages in my life! (thus far anyway!) This is because (as depicted in the above picture) a great deal of time can be easily "wasted" whilst Facebooking, twittering and googling, etc. As a busy parent of young twins my time is a precious commodity and does not extend to online social networking. (Not yet, anyway!) There are people who, wrongly or rightly, believe that Twitter is for twits!
However, I do believe that technology is unavoidable in our modern world and it will be interesting to discover what all the fuss is about!
PS The Technologically Challenged Just in case you think YOU are TC (technologically challenged), there'sstill hope:1. Compaq is considering changing the command "Press Any Key" to "Press Return Key" because of the flood of calls asking where the "Any" key is!
Hallelujah!
ReplyDeleteKaryn, I think your joke is so funny :) Thanks for sharing it.
ReplyDeleteThis is what the training is all about. Good on you for giving it a go!
ReplyDeleteGood to see you on board Karyn. Soon enough, to know what your twins are doing during the day, you will need to be well versed in facebook/twitter etc. Most of us will miss out on our kids lives if we dont follow their blogs. hehe.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Adrian you find out some good stuff about your kids on facebook and sometimes it's stuff they don't want you to know. Anyway you have a while yet before the girls have their own facebook pages.
ReplyDeleteI walked past one of my 4 year olds pretending to "type" and was about to say "Are you practising your typing", when she said "I'm at my computer." How old fashioned am I? It's not typewriters and typing anymore, it's computers and keyboards!
ReplyDeleteBe brave grasshopper. There are new online experiences awaiting you. It is quite good fun we you get the hang of it. Nice graphic BTW.
ReplyDeleteKeep up with you good work of onlinemiracle. HE will certainly give you the wisdom to guide you through the course!
ReplyDeleteDon't listen to them Karyn, social networking has reduced human interaction to a keystroke, it's a voyeuristic wasteland full of nothingness. I recently wrote a song about things that p*ss me off. I had 357,000 verses but edited the song down to three and the final verse relates directly to this topic...

Hi Karyn and Kevyn, just want to say, I love the verse, well your Web 2.0 poem (it seems)! Kev you can become a poet.
ReplyDeleteVery clever Kevyn. I love it. My thoughts exactly.
