Up until about ten years ago, the limits of my technological experience included working kitchen gadgets, sewing machines, vacuums and other domestic machinery. Then a small windfall emboldened me to purchase a computer. What a time saver!...

No more retyping each letter, each report or attempt at recording family history. What a great means of communication! No more leaving telephone messages or post office visits for stamps.

Now on my fourth "improved technology" computer I find I am spending all that saved time and more trying to master all the steps and undecipherable icons that are so simple for the school children who have been using computers before they even go to school! Small hits by wayward fingers erase words that took an hour to put down! Thankful for the means to keep up with children and grandchildren who travel the world through Skype and Facebook, suddenly I have to manufacture excuses for not keeping up with many "FRIENDS" I never knew I had!

Time saving technology is devouring all my time!
