Computer Problems with some Walkie Talkie fun

I wake up on my lovely Sunday morning and out of nowhere, my laptop adapter decided it would no longer work.

It was such a frustrating day! I went to Best Buy to have it tested. It was no longer any good. They priced a new for me it was over 100 dollars! I thought it was crazy! I couldn't believe it. Some how I got lucky and remember I had my old adapter from my old Sony Vio that had water damage to it and was never able to be revived! I met my mom today to get the adapter from the old computer and it worked! THANKS WATER DAMAGED COMPUTER! :-)

But some fun news! I found some old Walkie Talkies that I got when I was probably 10 years old. My roommate and myself were running around everywhere using them. From my room to her room. It was a blast. My plastic walkie talkies were so entertaining. It just makes me remember how simple technology used to be. Now your cell phone can be a walkie talkie! It is just so crazy! If you have some you haven't played with in awhile, you should bring them out for a little bit! Our next experience with them is to see what our distance is with them! It is gonna be another fun night! :-)

Shopping Online- FRUSTRATING!

Okay, so I do not have any positive news today either. I ordered my Halloween costume online last week and two days later someone had stolen my card number and racked up hundreds of dollars on it. And the person got it from online! I had to call cancel my card get all those charges dropped. Settled right... NO I got my new card today in the mail. Called the number on the card to get it activated and i had to put in the 16 digit number, which I had to do 6 yes 6 times and it did not work once.... finally it took me someone on the phone. This was just as bad as the rest of the experience. The lady was asking my questions from years ago, as in what was my last purchase with this account and the price which was OVER a week ago so I had to get online and find that out then they asked.... what year and month did I start my chase account that was years ago... I couldn't tell her which month but I could the year and she would not activate my card. She was getting so frustrated with me! HOW DO YOU THINK I FELT!!!!! This was such a hassel and a pain... so I just hung up because she was so rude. I took my card to an ATM and hoped for the best and it worked no problem. She did not activate my card but when I went to the ATM I walked in and talked to the bank and they told me no it was not activated but all I had to do was go to the ATM and withdrawal money!

Would that have been so difficult for that lady to say! This was ridiculous... all of this happened because I did online shopping.... How Frustrating...

EMERGING TECHNOLOGY--- not my cup of tea

For this class we have to "blog" and in the nicest way I can put it, I don't even understand the point of blogging. It seems to me that it is used to stalk people and their day to day life. I went over some of my classmates blogs, and just did not understand why people would read other peoples blogs. I am starting to feel like an 80 year old women in this generation and I'm only 21.

I HATE NEW TECHNOLOGY! It is so hard for me to learn how to use all the new gadgets. For instance not only do I have to learn how to blog for this class, I have to learn how to TWEET for my HIST 104 class.... I think this is ridiculous. First of all this class is about European History from the 1400s... I am almost positive Tweeter did not exist back then.

I enjoy the technology I grew up with computers, simple cell phones and video games like nintendo. However, I tried to play Halo.... the remote VIBRATES!!! Scared me to death! I had never owned an IPOD until last November when I received the ITouch 2nd generation from my boyfriend for my birthday. He is a technology major and LOVES new technology. Anyways I have had this for just under a year and all I use it for is to play games when I am in the car on long car trips. Also I just bought my new labtop(not by choice) last Aug. and apparently I have been told there are many features on it I do not use!

I guess technology affects me almost everyday and I think it would be so much easier and more useful if what technology had to offer was more useful. I lose my remote to my TV every day... But I dont see anyone putting an alarm on my remote for me so I can find it... that would be good technology to me...

maybe by the time I write next... There will have been a POSITIVE technology experince...

Some good news: COLTS WON!!!! GO BLUE!!!
