You just don't let it rule your life.<br /><br />Agree about the demographics - most of the genies I meet look at me as if I am from Mars when I ask can I photograph them for my blog.

Technology speaking I'm hooked into Twitter, Facebook, Google+, Youtube, Myspace and all via an Android phone or through Windows Vista at home. The weekend is another story...24/7 genealogy!J.

Consequently it often seems safer to say 'Web page' instead of 'blog', especially when emailing people I don't know well.Judy Websterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02331380147873608965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-16204948529851962582011-11-11T14:24:14.662-08:002011-11-11T14:24:14.662-08:00If 'technosaur' means not leaving the hous...If 'technosaur' means not leaving the house with a pocketful of electronic gadgets, count me in.

I use Google for email (it brings over other email address mail as well to one place), Google+ for genealogy and other Circles of interest, GoogleReader for all my fave genealogy Blogs. I also post on Facebook (for adult kids, cousins, friends), check Twitter as well. The automatic coffee machine and the microwave are my best buddies. News? If it's really news, someone will tell you - otherwise I check in online to several news websites several times a week. Mildly to moderately techy, I think.

And microwaves are indeed tech; I know people who prefer the stove (tech) and refuse microwaves. A hundred years ago, those three (TV, radio, microwave) didn't exist -- radio was starting with wireless telegraphy, but not yet for the commercial voice-audio masses. Ever see a newspaper printing house that <i>didn't</i> use technology? Even pre-printing-press monks using pen-and-ink had a history of technology improvements of their own.<br /><br />But then, I have a historian's view of the definition of technology (bone tools, stone tools, metal tools, etc.). Microchips don't enter the scene intil the late 1950s at experimental earliest. Why consider everything before desktop computers (even things that include computer circuits these days) as not even "real"? :)<br /><br />But then, this was typed out on a laptop (miniaturized circuits more powerful than Dad's 12-year-old dektop) over WiFi. :pEric Jorgensenhttp://scribbledchronicles.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26204193.post-57637759352221598622011-11-11T13:48:22.008-08:002011-11-11T13:48:22.008-08:00Thanks for sharing, Randy.

I suspect your 'percentages' are pretty accurate. Hope to see others respond, as well! ;-)Dr. Bill (William L.) Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04857619677138020430noreply@blogger.com
