# 7 - Blog about Technology

Geez... I feel old when I think about all the technological gadgets out there that I don't know how to use. I think when you use technology for practical purposes rather than for recreation you really get left behind. You need to play with things and approach them with curiosity rather than cynicism (or suspicion) and I'm not sure that I do that. I was a late starter and I have a feeling I will be scrambling to catch up for some time yet. My use of computers is fairly limited: internet banking, bookings, movie times, email, msn messenger and sometimes I might read online papers or my horoscope. My immediate objectives are to upgrade from the old floppy disc to a memory stick and to get myself a digital camera. I'm not yet convinced that I would make good use of facebook or any of the other popular tools for social networking, however, I intend to expand my flickr collection and this has partly inspired my desire for a new camera.
