A-Z Blogging Challenge - Can we Survive Without Computers?

Today is a new day! This is the only day that counts!



I am on vacation this week.  It is really great to be on vacation.  There is only one problem.  I brought my laptop with me so I could keep up with my blogging in my downtime.  Well that didn't work out so well.  I realized as I was unpacking that I only brought half my electric cord.  I have the part that goes from the little box thing to the computer, but not the part that goes from the little box thing to the electrical outlet.  My laptop battery is old and holds a charge for like two minutes.  So that means my laptop was useless the first day.

I also brought my iPad mini, and my iPhone.  I have been trying to keep up using those items.  Well let me tell you something, they are so much more frustrating than working on a computer.  I love the fact that they are small and portable, but they are not made to blog and read blogs.  I get something completely typed out and then can't scroll down the page.  It is much more difficult to work with pictures and just overall totally not a computer.

I love technology and I am so happy to have the small portable devices, but they are not full sized computers.  I'm just saying!

I type out a full comment on someone's blog and then it freezes and won't post.  Several of you have great comments written out, but I couldn't post them so I just left without commenting.  I promise I'll make it up to you next week when I'm back at my computer!

    1. I have been keeping up while laying out in the sun. Usually I read, not good at sitting and doing nothing. My iPaf mini is perfect for this. It just isn't great for commenting. Sometimes they work,sometimes they don't.

    3. Oh sorry Gwen! I was hoping my comment wouldn't be misunderstood as a slam on what you said! We both want her to post, but like you said, not feel badly about comments to us not getting done! Did that make any sense? Probably not! lol

  5. where are you at??? Sounds delightful, laying by the pool. I love my computer and my laptop. I know it would be pretty hard for me to give them up, if I had to. That's sad!

    Now get back to your vacationing!!!

  6. I agree I have the ipad I love it but I can't scroll down delete or do anything else that a normal laptop can do. But most of the time I use my phone to read blogs heck emails and for quick response only. I don't think I can live without these technologies.
