Technology Is Great When It Works

I love new advancements in technology like feed readers (so I can read blogs, news, etc. in one place), anything going on with Apple (iPhone, Macs), and video and photo capabilities on one camera.

But when they decide that they don’t want to work any more, then they suck! We can’t do what we take for granted doing everyday. We start talking to these devices and ask why they are not working or we threaten them as if damaging them will make them work again! My camera is malfunctioning. It likes to freeze up and not transfer photos/videos to the mother ship (computer). Thankfully, the bad camera is under warranty but I need it now.

Today, I tried to have a picture of Arelis and I developed for a Valentines Day gift but the camera froze and then I lost 15 items on the memory card. I also lost two “sweet” videos of kids from our church during an Upward game. Oh well, its not the end of the world, but it is frustrating.

Anyone feel me on technology issues?
