technology

yesterday I got to experience technology - probably some parts of technology that I should have experienced a long time ago.

first, my bestie and I got to ichat. one second we are on the phone, the next her face is a mere 12 inches from mine with live feed of her mouth moving to her words. unfortunately my extreme handicap when it comes to technological advances turned the 1 minute process of setting up an account into a 10 minute one. within 30 seconds of setting up my username and password i go to sign in....wrong password. shoot! i try my other "full time" password....wrong password. you are kidding me! what in the world?! unfortunately the mystery will never be solved, i had to go back and set up an entirely new account. i guess the 30 sec between creating the password and using the password is technology's greatest weakness...or is it my own.

well, chatting face-to-face with my friend made my spirits soar. i climb into the lil corolla for a 2.5-3 hour drive. already a little bored and distracted i start shoving my hand into the counsel to see what kind of entertainment i can find. i usually bring a notebook to make lists, while driving - bad idea. i yank out a variety of cords, unraveling them while i drive down the 5 way highway using my knees. earpieces! i assumed they would be way to complicated to set up but why not give it a try? i plug one end into the only hole i can find in my phone and shove the other end into my ear. (take note: talking on the phone while driving in Cali is illegal without a n ear piece). i dial a fellow verizon friend (also take note: i have 6 minutes left for the next 8 days, shoot), to my surpise, i hear it ringing! when he answers i reply by yelling, "can you hear me? im using an earpiece! wow, i can hear you!" yeah, i can definitely hear you! is the reply i hear. awesome. at the conclusion of my drive i had no voice from yelling with my earpiece but it was the grandest of things.

today i love technology. tomorrow i will have to take another poll.
