When my son offered me his desktop to check my account here, I planned on editing the picture of me in my previous discussion; yes, "what is in your gallery?". Since my son was with me, I asked him how I can fix my photo. It is saved here on desktop. (I tried posting it in its right way but the pic still appeared sideways. He edited but still it appeared sideways but on the other side. Before, I was facing right; when he edited, I was facing left.) My son was laughing at me, but he did not know how to remedy the photo; so what he did was he added 2 white bars on either side of my picture and presto! It was done. We both were laughing out loud. Ahh! The stage of being naive to this technology. What part of the computer do you find yourself getting naive about?

yes, i think self-edicating is good, but still we need somebody who is more knowledgeable than us.

because of the new technology arising nowadays, there has been a lof of apps and a lot things added that we should know about if we want to be called 'savvy' or 'techy' but there's tons of new things to learn and my brain cannot contain it all. But I learned a new stuff where in you can add photos, background, etc to you photo or videos which is really nice.

I find it hard to transfer photos from my cellphone gallery to my files at my laptop. My son said it is too easy, but I can't.

Technology is changing so fast. I used to have trouble keeping up, not I don't even try. I know I'll regret it in the long run, but my brain can only process so much at a time.
