From notebooks to iPads Since I have become chronologi- cally more mature, I have begun to notice changes. Sometimes I love the changes, sometimes I despise them. It is sort of a love-hate situa- tion. Advertising always tempts me to at least read what is on the tech- nical agenda. It started for me when my father allowed me to type on his small Underwood typewriter instead of the long hand writing I did in a notebook. I loved the typing machine! I wrote poems and comments and sometimes he allowed me to type letters for him to use in his business. The ink spools were a challenge. He did not let me put them on the spindles at first. He would always try and managed to get his hands inked before he was through. This would get my moth- er’s attention as Dad always seemed to transfer the ink on his fingers to various parts of the furniture. By the time I tried loading the circular ink tapes on the spindles, I was very careful to wash my finger tips before Mother got after me for making ink prints on anything. My first columns were done on old fashioned type writers, then on an electric type writer and finally on computers. It was my father’s idea that I change to computers. The fact is he went to a business that was selling computers and put one-hundred dollars down on one for me. I was shocked and admonished him for spending so much money. He insisted that I finish purchas- ing said machine. He assured me that the use of it would be taught by trainers at the store where he got it. Yes, there were trainers. They were training the use of the machine by the long distinct word, "Dos." Dos, was hard! The trainers talked at the speed of a shooting star. My brain was in a constant race to keep up with the learning experience. Frus- tration was haunting me. Some days the type came out okay, some days it looked like some unknown foreign language. Finally I went to Hornbeck’s my Palm to my Grand- daughter’s computer, transferred my copy and sent my column to the Daily News. Horror of horrors, my tiny, tiny key- board has quit working. Many people do not Carolyn Barber Office Store and was introduced to a program called "The Secretary Bird." I believed my prayers were answered and yes, I was able to whip out copy without the monster bird, "Dos" attacking me. A couple of year’s later comput- ers hosted "Microsoft Word." A new entity in my learning process, it was successful. I kept "Secretary Bird" on my office shelf for a long time, until I was sure that "M. Word," was my everlasting friend. As many computer users know, there have been many changes in technology. Now computers are small, portable machines with many additions. Cell phones came into our lives a simple mobile tool which has now attached it’s self to iPads. I previ- ously used a "Palm-Pilot" which has a little keyboard that notes could be typed and hot-synced to my computer. I used it constantly and even used it when we went to Italy. I typed my columns, attached know about the Palm Pilot and have most defi- nitely embraced the iPad. One of our family members has one. A great new adventure for us, I know you are all wonder- ing if I will get one. Who knows? The possibility is there. Technology is definitely a chal- lenge to life long learning. Radios, record, CD’s, and DVD’s, players have all changed during my chrono- logical maturity trip. I am enthralled by the progress and con- tinue to "save" many early machines and items. Yes I still have three rotary tele- phones, two of which actually work. I use my Mother’s electric mixer. I chop food with a manual vegetable chopper and I listen to old time records played on record play- ers that can actually copy the records to a CD. I’ll not list the numerous old things I have kept. I know most people will heartily suggest that I not keep so much junk. Hmm, maybe I could sell some of the old stuff and purchase an iPad.
