Today I came across the words, digital laggards, digital immigrants and digital natives.
I know I'm a laggard whose migration is long overdue. Not sure if I will ever feel like or become a native, though.
How about you?
Tonight I went to YouTube to listen to instrumental versions of mass and spiritual songs while mylotting.
I will try to remember to do this as another way to destress or get ready for bed.
Which instrumental music do you listen to?

i do like classical music, too. one time when i had to encode something, i plugged into one online site and it helped me focus and finish the job.

@hereandthere There was some research once about classical music of a certain type/speed helping students to get better results from their study periods.

I see. Before it's very easy to upload new songs to my phone. And when I have apple, it's complicated. I can no longer upload and transfer to my phone. Thanks to Youtube I can still listen to new songs and old.

in the past, classical music meant mozart and beethoven - and elevators. now it can mean songs from the '50s onward.

@hereandthere We call those oldies which are so different from the true classical music. Elevator music is just that. Elevator music!

i try keep updated with the information of new tech...but i am never the first to buy it. I would rather have a good 60% of the population try it out first and get reviews before i get it myself.
I like most kinds of instrumental....it is soothing.

i do read about them, even when i don't understand much, just to be familiar with the words, brands, etc. yeah, it's a good idea to wait until something is more mainstream. you'll have more options and know where to have things fixed.
i just remembered christmas songs by kenny g. that would be another relaxing alternative.

How about you? - I'm not sure. i guess I'm a laggard as well although I'm trying to improve on that.
Which instrumental music do you listen to? - I'm listening to a lot of jazz, motown, soul, and big band music.

i know that i have to do something about this computer and my cellphone soon.
sometimes when listening to pop music, i focus on one instrument and imagine the musician playing it.

I like flute and violin; or any instrumental music that is so relaxing; it makes me sleep.
