I have to admit I have a 28 year history of working with computers. My laptop is as powerful as the room full of stuff I used in the Air Force - that still amazes me. I carry more data storage capacity in my purse than some large drives we used. Amazing!
I don't have any fear of new tech but I do fail to see the need for some of it. I guess that's the non-creative side of me. I want an app that runs well, does want I want and I'm done.
I'm glad to try all these new things because I never would have found them on my own. It's fun to play sometimes. I don't think I'll ever keep up with it all but most of us feel that way. It's good stretch ourselves since we will all come away with some new idea or tool after we're done
