Time saving devices:  I don’t have any of those <g>

Now, ask me about time SUCKING devices and I’m loaded for bear.

The internet was supposed to be a tool that allowed for more information at the tip of your fingertips – which it delivers!  But that means spending days at the computer with research instead of writing.  By the time I’ve clicked on the tenth link, I am so off topic that I have to do a history search just to find where I started.

Email is a thing of beautiful convenience.  I can ‘talk’ to ten people at once, and not get involved in any lengthy give and take type conversation.  The downside is that I can talk to ten people at once…not to mention all of the loops and chats and networking sites I belong to.  A good thing – but a Time Hoover.

Cell phones.  A necessity for anyone with children.  Or a business.  Or a pet.  I know an editor who refuses to own a cell phone – she actually has a life that doesn’t involve carpel tunnel of the thumb.  No lie, my daughter sprained her texting muscle and she had to wear a soft cast for three weeks.  She made sure we all shared in her misery.

I love my iPod, and iHome, and my purple digital camera.  I am learning how to podcast with my little microphone thing, and I’ve fully embraced the blog.  I’m considering twittering next, but I need to get my computer comprehension skills up to par because the RSS feed will be the death of me.

That’s all I’ve got
