Techno savy and Science

Dear blogging friends. The photos you see below are familiar items to you all.! Necessities of every day living in a Techno world.

As you read along..You will understand how I became ,or think I am becoming.

"Techno Savy"! -------

During this last week. I have been typing my comments on your lovely blogs, in morse code.!!

..h..p..thanks.... and so it went.dot.dot. You cannot know, how much I laughed at myself, while typing. (you have all been very understanding. thank you) Once again, all back to normal.

Computers, have become part of our every day life. A great communication tool.

Today, my new keyboard arrived by special delivery from my eldest son in Lisbon. Aren't sons just great.! How delighted i am. He spoils me. Without a keyboard, one is lost.

I speak for myself here, but I do enjoy blogging, I never thought that I would, but I sure do.

I know the same goes for all my dear friends who have taken time to join and read my blogs.

All your blogs are amazing, each and every one, something so nice to read. New things to learn about, great ideas,lovely homes and gardens, history, cooking, art ,farming, travel and much more.

Sometimes I am at a loss as to what to write about,as life here in rural Alentejo moves at a very slow pace indeed. Somehow, i do get there.

"Cyber socializing"- We can thank technology and the brains that go behind this new age . The Bill Gates, and the late Steve Jobs, and all the other fantasticly imaganitive intelligent brains that go into the making of all the new Techno "gadgets" and widgets,click on and off buttons . All offering something new and magical for us to play with, or add to our ever growing necessity

and dependence on so many of them.

The mobile phone.. an sms to a friend thousands of miles away.. and the reply within seconds.

Its amazing. I remember my first mobile phone, I was terrified, I thought i would never learn how to send a messages.

Skyping family and friends.. and there they are, as if they were in the room with us. My sister and I have coffee together ,her one side of the ocean, me the other. skyping, what wonders.

Getting the picture correct and positioned. checking again and again the skype instructions. A piece of cake now.

I started blogging last year. Most of you, will know what trouble I had in trying to aquaint myself with the techniques and tricks and do's and dont's of the blogging world. I think, I started about 4 blogs . I truly didnt know what or how to remedy half of the wrong things i was doing..I would read and read again, and get all mixed up. I had some great help from blogging friends, I think thats the way we learn more, I certainly did. The rest you all know, I was back again after a while.

Over these months. You all might agree..that i have learned a little more.. I like to think so, and each day, I learn something new, as my techno savy gets better and better.!

Its so pleasurable passing by and reading all your most interesting posts.

We all have something new and wonderful to share. Life is good.

Cyber friendship is truly amazing. Let the blogging continue.

Household technical gadgets.

What would we do without a mobile phone..! We also cannot forget the charger.

I must have had to buy a few chargers since the mobiles came out. My mobile goes everywhere with me. When i recieved my first sms reply.. I was jumping for Joy,I had finally added another useful wonder to my daily routine. Travelling communication.

This photo needs no explaining.. we just cant do anything without it. I have loads of them around the cottages.

Portable house phone.. sheer luxury.. can take it out to the garden and have my sundowner. It even records messages, and reads them to me.. wow.!

The Commandos. They are on my little side table.. and are all tuned in to my favorite channels.They do what they are commanded to do. click click.. We have an image!

Paper and ink all set .. always printing off that something we like from the net.. type our agendas or print that photo..or photo copy.. amazing machines. Mine is a simple Brother works and prints just fine.

This one needs no explanation. My link to my family and friends far and wide .We use ours sometimes at family breakfasts and include friends and family who cant be with us we chat away to each other,as though they were with us. Its just incredible.

little black box(modem/router) a true techno wonder nothing would work computer wise without it. I always hope the little green light keeps flickering.! On line then

Tv. boxes and cards that must be exactly fitted correctly.. battery charger and dvd player..great to watch or record that special film. I sometimes enjoy a late night movie.

My new keyboard.. All lovely and shiny. ): ): on my face.

Finally my digital camera.. I couldnt live without.. takes pictures like this below with just one click. upload them to your photo album on the computer and you have your photos always at hand.(just make sure you back them up) All pheonominal techno wonders we just cant do without.
Shots at different angles.. of one of my paintings(it was a day when I was inspired by Van gogh).. I will be buying a nice big straw hat for summer painting, must get into the swing again.

I cant show my camera.. Its a simple little HP digi camera..another wonder.

Happy blogging days to you all.
