Welcome to the 21st Century

Well, I finally joined the 21st century communications age over the weekend. First of all, I went and got a new flip-type cell phone. I previously had an old, larger cell phone that served me well, but frankly made me look like the 55-year old technologically-challenged man that I am. Trust me, when you are 55, you need all the help you can get to look technologically-savvy. OK, so the phone doesn’t have a camera or any of the other gee whiz stuff that a lot of the new cell phones have, but at least I can make and answer a call on it.

Secondly, I bought a new phone system for the home. We had some old, cheap wireless phones that worked fine when we had the typical landline service through the phone company. However, they don’t work that well with the internet phone service, because the main phone has to be plugged into the computer modem rather than the wall, and all the base units we had required plugging the base unit into a phone line. So we bought a multi-phone system that has a separate handset unit that does not have to be plugged into a phone line, only an electrical outlet. So we now can have some phones in different rooms of the home. But don’t worry, I do not have a phone in the bathroom!

I’m cool……..I’m a techie……Ooops, I pushed the wrong button and disconnected this blog!
