Getting too Old

I have to admit I believe I am getting old and conservative. I don’t want to have to learn how to use new technical gadgets!!

A while ago I bought a new mobile phone. I don’t know really why, because my old one is still working, but it has been showing some signs of tear and wear and at times was not really reliable so I guess that is why. But still, the new phone has been lying in its box, unopened for months. I just could not be bothered to take it into use as I knew all the settings and information in my old mobile would not be automatically transferred. However, this weekend I stayed at home to get things done that I have postponed for a long time and then I thought I’d just better take care of the phone thing too. Sooner or later my old mobile will die and then saving the information might be too late. So this morning I got started. Only to give up after a short while and put the sim-card back into my old mobile again. I could not copy all the contacts on the sim-card as it was full, and I could not get the ring-tone I wanted and all my listings in the calendar and photos and sms and other information of cause would not be transferred, so I basically gave up.

One thing, that of cause would have helped, would have been to synchronise it via the computer. Only, yesterday I noticed that the cd-drive of my laptop is not working, so I could not install the software for the mobile, as well as I could not install the software for the new digital camera I bought in Dubai. Ahhh!! I hope this does not mean I will have to buy a new laptop too!

I don’t want to have new technical gadgets!! I liked my old camera and would have liked to have it repaired instead of buying a new one, and I like my laptop and my old mobile, but often it costs more to have things like that repaired than buying new. I don’t like it! I know this is a definite sign of me getting old, but still; I don’t like it.
