- One who is slow or lagging in the use or understanding of any/all electronic devices.
- Devices include but are not limited to; computers (especially internet & e-mail), camcorders, cameras, portable GPS, DVRs, DVD players and remote controls.
- A portable GPS unit would be the perfect gift for most people, except for my technologytarded mom who can barely figure out how to use e-mail.
Okay, so I had to post this because I ran into an old friend this morning getting coffee and she was complaining about www.facebook.com and how people are now trying to add her as a friend. She said, "yeah I signed up on facebook and now I have all of these people (that she knows from the past) that want to be my friend". No kidding! Its a social networking site like Myspace, Yelp and LinkedIn to name a few.
It really bothered me because I could not believe that here was someone in their late 30's that just had no idea about how things are done these days. Yeah I mean this person knows what to do when they are hungry or when they get tired, but aside from that they are oblivious to the world around them. Take the time to pickup a book, have a chat with someone that you do not really know, try a new resturant at random. You know....LIVE. Ignorance is still king I guess. At first it made me mad that this person could be so out of touch but then she did the ultimate. She was with her two sons and had the 9 year make a comment about facebook. She said to him, "what is facebook? He said, "facebook is for those people who do not have a life". I just started to think WOW. The cycle continues. People are more comfortable with being uninformed rather than taking the time to learn or hear about something "New".
These are all sites that allow people from all over the country and even the world to communicate about a particular ideology, hobby or interest. They are the evolution of the web and are changing the way we look at communicating with others, not just our neighbors.
For those of you whom are reading this, this definition does not apply to you for obvious reasons. It is the year 2008 people, if you do not know how to attach a file, send or recieve email, download anything you might as well consider...well I just don't know.
On another note I will be posting some pics of Maddox soon per the request of Grammy.
