Technology???

What the hell are they talking about?  I feel like a complete moron when it comes to today’s technology. I tried to hook up a DVD player to my TV only to realize it would not work because I did not have a HDMI Cable.   I was told the DVD player would not work because it was not compatible with the TV?  I thought WTH?? I thought I was doing pretty good until I tried this feat!  Finally got it done and the picture was awesome.  I had never heard of HDMI Cables but it really proved to be a good investment.  You see the new commercials and such about smart phones?  What the heck is a smart phone?  All I need is a phone to dial, get messages, and text once in a while. I see where they will automatically spell check and there are problems with that.  I thought it was pretty smart to begin with.  One of the guys asked me if I had a blue tooth, I told him no gold, he said wow when did they come out with that?  I told him in the 70s.   I had a conversation about Blue Ray, regular DVD, VHS, etc, damn I had a headache.   I don’t think I will ever catch up.  At my work they have this thing where you have to use your finger print to get in twice, I thought that was over kill but it is crazy.  I just bought my first lap top last month, thought I was doing pretty good, what I did not realize was that people had been using them for years!  What the heck is a android phone and where the hell do you get APPS?  If it were not for Clark at work I would be in the complete dark.  He gives me the old man speech and gets his phone out.  I think he was trying to harass me when he downloaded the APPS of duck hunt but I was afraid to ask.  I remember playing that on the Atari (1^st version).  I got my son a Xbox 360 and trying to play that would make my head spin.  So what is with today’s technology?  I could write more but heading to Best Buy.  I have to update my phone.  Until Next time!
