unwillingly updated

It seems that now I have no option but to change over to the new-improved version of Blogger. So we'll see how it goes....I've read other people's blogs that imply it may be new but definitely not improved.

I'm getting to the age where I can't cope with constant change. Long ago, in my youth, I had a much older friend who just could not deal with new technology. CD players, VCRs, cable TV, telephone answering machines-she could not tolerate any of it. When the lab we worked at went to a computer-based data management system, she became extremely stressed. At the time, I didn't understand. This person had lived through the Great Depression and WWII, but she couldn't cope with what I thought was simple technology. Now I understand. I've purchased the same music over and over again, on LP records, 8-tracks, cassettes, and CDs. I'm not paying to download an MP3 file that will replaced by some other format next week. They don't make music like they used to anyway. I've purchased movies on Beta, VHS and now DVD. Now there's talk of switching everything to Blu-Ray disc. Well, count me out. They don't make movies like they used to anyway.

This year I will have a Dreaded Milestone Birthday. So I have earned the right to rant.
