1. You've had an ipod for several years, and you finally figured out where the Eject button is in itunes. Hallelujia! Also, you've figured out why the stupid thing randomly, but consistently, plays music from that really horrible Christmas album that you vow to delete from your computer if you could only figure out how. . .
2. You decide it's time to clean out our computer files, and spend an afternoon deleting old stuff and filing others into new folders. Then, you come back the next day, and it has all magically REAPPEARED. For real. Only this time it's somehow doubled, because it's in the new folders you just created AND the old ones you were trying to delete. Argh! What a mess!
3. Your old video camera bites the dust and you buy a new one. You wait 4+ months for husband to install the software on your computer so you can download and watch your new video. You tried to install the software yourself, but gave up after 3 minutes because the prompt screens were written in a language you do not speak.
4. Your mom (from whom you've inherited this inability to understand all things tech) calls and asks you to send a text message to your little sister. It takes over 5 minutes to send the words "Dentist today. 2:50. -Mom." Gave up on a couple of words because you couldn't figure out how to overcome the auto-guess-what-word-you-want-to-use function on your not-so-smart phone.
5. Your sweet friends assure you that your inability to text comes from the fact that you own a pre-paid cell phone you bought at Walmart circa 2001. Once you get a decent phone it will be so easy. You take their word for it because somehow you know it will be a long time before the budget allows for a sweet phone with a data plan. Bummer!

Oh Jessica, I also have the same phone I've had since age fifteen. Nothing wrong with that. It's like a trusty-rusty. The new ones always break so fast I swear. Also, I just read half-broke horses this semester, great stuff!
I totally hear you on the non techi-ness. This is my husband's profession, so naturally, I "let him do it." Which he doesn't in his hopes that I learn. I can text, but the whole video on the computer is beyond me. I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one left in this club!
