The old and the new

I am not the biggest fan of technology …

quite frankly I’d rather spend the money on books.

But there comes a point when you have to trade up.

In mobile phone terms I recently moved from the ancient to the modern:

I wont pretend I know how to make the best use of it yet – I have only had it a week.

And to give you a clue about how clueless I am – when I was in the phone shop, once I’d made my choice and everything had been sorted out, the very nice young man who had been helping me handed me the phone.  In fairness the screen was dark when he handed it to me, I looked at it for a moment and thought I should do something with it, and in the nick of time the young man said ‘you do realise you’re holding it upside down, don’t you?’

I do now know which way is up – but perhaps not a lot more!
