Are you a techie person?

I am not. I learn as I go with my life. I have bought an IPhone 6 and I have it for almost a week now. When I ordered it, I was not very excited but I have to have it as a remembrance of my hard working life. I have to treat myself before I lost that money to anything that is not for me or for my hubby. I bought it online but only a half price of 333€. It was on sale and so I grab the opportunity before I have changed my mind. I was not so happy to have it though as it brought me a lot of headaches. I did not have time anymore for blogging and even to be here at Mylot. When I have to learn something, I have to learn it by myself and it would be fast so I can move on with other things in mind. Now I have done it all alone and I am very proud of myself about it. I am already excited using the camera of it. Well, that was what made me bought it. How about you? Are you a techie person? Anyway, have a great new week. I hope you had a wonderful weekend.

I wouldn't say a techie person, but I am impatient and need to master something immediately!

Just like me @valmnz. Actually it drove me crazy but I had to calm myself to get finished with learning that gadget.. Thanks and good night. Now I can sleep well

@valmnz Do I remember well that you are a Pisces like me Val. This is my same problem, I do not read the manuals, I want to master things immediately.

Hi Thelma. I am not really a techie person but I need to know the basics, hence I will get lost in this world.

@mlgen1037 I agree. It really costs my precious time but if I have to learn, I have to.

I am not a techie person too. In fact, since I bought my J7Pro phone, I haven't discovered yet something on how to do this and that. I even one time was able to take away the sound of my messenger everytime someone posted. However, when I decide to put a sound, I don't know how anymore.

@thelme55 Well, it's not that we are not techie in this manner, but because we are now forgetful of how something is being done.

I am a mechanical engineer (and a masters in business) and work as a marketing professional in electronic industry so I understand some of it if not all and manage the small tech related problems. However, if my gadgets are not working well I generally call the related techie person and let him handle the problem.

You are lucky @epiffanie. I have more knowledge when it comes to computer and smartphones than my hubby. When I really need help and it should be fast, I have to call my son or my Pinay friend.

I've been online since the early 90's so I guess I've learned a thing or two along the way. I'm so jealous about the iPhone! I have an Android since I can't afford an iPhone.

@CRK109 I didn´t know that you were online already at those early years of having an internet. You don´t have to get jealous. I have saved my writing earnings for months and some of my massage earning to be able to buy this phone. I just wanted to see the fruit of my labor.

I'm not a technie person at all. Vince bought himself a smart phone but has only just learnt how to answer it and then he had to ask a young person how to do it. Well done for learning all about it yourself.
