Tech,tech n me

Fingers fly over keyboards and messages fly off mobile phones,all around me there is talk of orkut or face book,recently I got an invite to juice.What on earth would that mean.A lot of people assume I know all this,strange,to me juice is just that and I would want to know what kind as in apple,orange etc.But for now its a social site where you meet and make friends.Surprise again.Most of my friends I have know for twenty odd years,or atleast for ten so why would I need to know a faceless friend,so much for face book I must add.I am not dying to make friends,nor am I dying to have half the world and his uncle know all about me.What happened to good old privacy.
Technology is great,I have used it to connect with people,gets things done which I couldn't have otherwise but it scares me because I cant get a grip on it.For me it takes time and I am constantly told that there is no time.Yesterday I was told by a group of friends that its just a matter of time before social networks catch up with us,very much like the mobile phone.Its useful and fine but I still resent the fact that I am traceable everywhere,I resent the fact that people think its fine to call at all hours.Of course I choose not to take calls but that's a different issue altogether.
Everyday i get a lesson on how to use technology,my husband is trying to teach me and is in the process,finding the teacher within him.He is also finding the patience to teach someone of such little techie intelligence and I hope one day soon I learn to use technology like I was to the manor born.
