A New Phone

Today's adventure took me to the phone store where I got a free phone. I chose a Blackberry this time around. It will definetly be a learning experience for me. I'll be able to check my emails when I'm away from home. I can take pictures if I so desire. I didn't have that capability with my old phone. I can also text messages if I choose to. One thing at a time, however. I kept my old phone for a 'backup' while I'm learning to use the Blackberry. So, I can still get phone messages and call out if necessary. I don't usually leave my old phone on all day so that people can contact me when I'm out. I have always reserved the cell phone for emergencies only. The phone part of the new phone will be for that same purpose. When I'm out and about I don't want to get calls from friends or family unless the call pertains to the day or the activity at hand. I do want to be able to check email if I so desire. I'm not going to be sitting at lunch with one friend, and be emailing other friends. Nor, am I going to be out with friends and excepting phone calls from other friends. I will live in the moment with the people I am with. If you want to leave me a message I'll get back to you when I'm able. Since I'm part of the generation I am part of, I'm technologically challenged and it will take me awhile to learn the new technology. Another capability I'll have with the new phone is hand free phone use in the car. I need to set that up yet. I hope I can figure that out by myself. The phone is all ready for that, I have to get the car ready. I believe that if you don't challenge yourself to learn something new from time to time, you don't grow as a person. Mastering the Blackberry is my newest endeavor. Wish me luck! I need it.
