EDITORIAL: Consider joining the Age of Technology

Telephones were strange devices at one time. Look at them now!

Computers
Computers are like telephones were, strange devices that are challenging to use. Telephones were too.

Often, computers can be frustrating to use. Remember waiting for your telephone party line to be free?

Computers may upset you sometimes. How often does a busy signal drive you up a wall?

Computers can cause you aggravation. How bothered are you when there’s no answer to your call?

Yet, look how important telephones have become in everyday life. Computers are crucial devices too, for many reasons:

  • Bill paying
  • Banking services
  • Application forms
  • Being informed
  • News updating
  • Communication
  • Emailing
  • Entertainment
  • Social media
  • Recipes and cooking
  • Books, newspapers
  • Access to media
  • Learning new things
  • Joining social groups
  • Developing hobbies

If you aren’t using an electronic device such as a computer, an iPad or a smartphone, consider getting one and getting someone to teach you how to use the device.

The device will benefit you tremendously.
