Technology, truly is, a very fascinating and wondrous thing indeed.
Though it would indeed break your street credit if you are probably the only guy who can't handle a PC, much less operate it because you don't know anything about it. Everyone is expected to at least do that right? The kid in the next block - he is 6 decades younger than you are, and he knows half the things a hacker would know about computers and all that stuff.
Totally lame, is what I thought to myself. So as part of my resolution NOT to be left behind by today's technology, what else? I immersed myself in to it. Enter the Technology Fair and Crafts Festival.
The Tech Fair on our locale' was a hush hush type of fair, not really much into going with advertisements and all that snazzy thingamajigs. It was a collection of differing shops who showcased their latest gadgets and items.
You get your digital cameras with something-something mega-pixels on it, a cell phone that has a television on it, a TV that has a cell phone on it (weird), some new PC models (what the - is that an AQUARIUM Monitor?) and PC paraphernalia like speakers, mouse, monitors, printers and the like. They have free demos. Sweet, just like what the doctor ordered.
Unluckily, things usually don't go the way they are planned. So, after making a fool of myself in one of the demonstration booths (and earning a few laughs from several bystanders), I sought out to buy a self-help book. Concerning computers. It was bad enough that I "accidentally" shut the computer down (whatever you do, do not press the red, blinking button), but I got my feet tangled up in the cords and almost lost my cash for paying damages (which I swear I did not plan).
Okay, so that wasn't really a good experience to begin with. But hey, it was one for the record, an experience I probably won't forget. Won't forget to bring a technophile along with me.
