Yes, physically hot not just "hot" items to speak of. Believe it or not, I actu- ally have an iPad and have had little time to really get to know it, so the only thing I have noticed is that I am the one who gets "hot" when I can't totally figure out how to com- pletely use this new item. This newly acquired toy has been both fun and challenging. In reality, I never cease to be amazed at what one can learn if put under pressure! In my case it never seems to come easy, the remedy often comes by sheer frustration. I have always had this fascination with technology; unfortunately I seem to learn to use it only by the hands on trial and error method. I was the kind of child that was fascinated by the old record players that had a hefty needle arm that you lifted up and put down on a 78 record. Then there were radios, I really liked them and loved to hear the little people inside of them tell stories or sing songs. My parents had a radio that was located on the top of the refrigerator when I was a young child. It would get a few sta- tions but if you wanted the one with a certain soap opera on it you had to climb up and hold the wire antenna to get it to transmit. Yes, believe it or not there was a soap opera called "The Barber Fam- ily," that I liked to hear when I was only 4 years old. I would risk falling off the stool to hold the antenna while I listened. Could it have been an omen that I would later marry a man with the last name of Barber, start my own Bar- ber Family? My inner clock would tell me when it came on and I would run in from outside to listen to it. Crazy it was, but true. As I grew older the first transitor radios came into being and you guessed it, I used my babysitting money to buy a couple of those. By high school age there were 45s and 33 1/3 records to play on machines that actually dropped a whole pile of records and automatically moved the arm onto each one in turn. Wow! What progress in the world of technology? In the high school typing class I learned to type on a man- ual Underwood. In the 1980s, electric typewrit- ers came into their own and in the 90's word processors marched into being. Finally large com- puters were on the walls of many businesses and huge and heavy comput- ers broke into being in homes where they could be afforded. My first home com- Carolyn Barber puter used only the "hated Dos lan- guage." I was not good at managing "Dos" but attempted some of my early columns on such a machine. Frustration was at a high level espe- cially when I had to print them on a reel type printer that rarely pro- duced copy in the right place on the right page. After a time of prolonged frus- tration I obtained a program called "Secretary Bird," from the Horn- beck's Business store. The owners could tell my great frustration so they led me to a program called, "Secretary Bird," which operated something like today's "Word." The process freed me from the bondage of using "Dos." Next came the lap- tops, the cell phones, the palm pilots, I pods and on and on and on. One would think that technology has now worked out all the bugs in their systems. Not so. It still takes me approximately 40 minutes to get through a request service call from the telephone company. When my modern scanner/printers failed to operate, I spent many hours trying to coax them into operation. You get the picture; my relation- ship with technology has had a dark side. I have just spent a good por- tion of two days courting two print- ers into resuming their jobs. I final- ly accomplished the task but had to call each of them by alias names in order to get them to return to work at running off my copy. Since all that surrounds me requires that I changes names on various computers perhaps I will go to using "Caro- line" instead of Carolyn. I still have my palm pilot and am having a terri- ble time giving it up. You see it was wonderful when I took it to Italy with me. I could type my column on the Palm Pilot when I was in flight. When I arrived in Italy, I was able to transfer my copy to my grandaugh- ter's computer and send it to the Daily News. The separation anxiety for my palm pilot almost brings tears. It is true however that it doesn't seem to be much related to iPod 1, however I must remem- ber that I have a bit more to learn about iPod 1, I believe the book guide has in the neighborhood of 664 plus pages that tell me what I must do to join the current iPad 1 age. What I have learned from this recent techie experience? I am not really sure about this continual challenge of learning, except that life will never be free from all frus- trations. With the help of our grown children, who seem to be a step ahead of us by guiding a parent into the new electronic world? With their help there just may be a way out of the current technical woods even if we don't have a map and it takes a very long time. Whoops, I hear a signal from iPad 1, I will have to leave my old fashioned computer and check on the incoming information, see you later.
