I’m officially evolving with technology. As someone who took every secretarial class in high school, I know proper typing posture and technique. I can still see Miss Rita Peters at Plum Senior High School walking around the room demanding perfect posture. When you completed her program, there was no need for further training. This is something on which Miss Peters prided herself and rightfully so.
As small as this may seem for my many techie friends, I’ve evolved from my proper keyboard and desktop computer to a new laptop. It may take me a while to get the hang of the little blue dot in the middle of the keyboard (thank goodness I’ve still got a mouse). I love the idea of taking it to conferences and meetings.
I also love the idea of taking something portable with me when I chaperone our school’s trip to London, Paris and Madrid at the beginning of April. It would have to be really light and easy to carry. I keep thinking I could post about our trip each day and all of the nervous parents at home could get a play by play. Heck, I should be able to figure out pictures to post here of the kids too. Since I’ve never added a picture to this blog, I may have a lot to learn. Any ideas on the best way for me to do this without spending a fortune prior to the trip, please send them my way.
Thought I’d better out myself because many of you probably think I’m somewhat tech savvie. Truth be told, I still think of Miss Peters every time I use the manual typewriter to type an envelope. Who needs to learn how to print labels anyway?
