Technologically challenged
Wow, I totally suck at updating this journal. I've made a few icons so will make a post in the next few days when they're done at my icon journal. YAY!
In other news my Dad was given a really flash mobile phone from work. It has all the bells and whistles, mp3 player, camera, email and all that jazz. The only problem is he only just figured out how to switch on his last phone! LOL Technology and parents really don't mix....no matter how many times you show them how to SMS they never learn. Dad's response, "I don't need all that fancy stuff, I just need to make/receive calls.... " Sure Dad.
Any one else have any stories of parents and their inability to use technology? Please share if you do! :)
Finally I just wanted to point everyone to this site -
FreeRice is a sister site of the world poverty site, Poverty.com You play a vocabulary game and for each word you get right the UN donates 20 grains of rice to end world hunger. So whenever you can spare a few minutes why not take a break and play the game? Feel free to spread the word on your journals and what not, so far 5,306,133,170 grains of rice have been donated...and every bit helps.. Pretty impressive considering the site only started on October 7.
WARNING: This game may make you smarter. It may improve your speaking, writing, thinking, grades and job performance...
