Coping with Technology

Being a so called 'senior' I have always been determined to keep up with the changing world of technology, having a computer and tablet.

As the saying goes computers are great when they are working! This week my computer has caused me alot of stress, it kept turning off, coming up with the words 'windows software recovery', and coloured lines all over the screen.  I took  it to the computer technician, who said it was a software problem and charged  me $50.
On plugging it in, same things happened, took it back to the technician and he couldn't fault it.
Tried it again at home, still no joy but happened to unplug and use it on battery and it worked perfectly so my diagnosis is that the problem must be the power adaptor. The technician gave me a power adaptor to try, which would not work, but my old one does recharge the battery! 

To top things off, my tablet came up with a screen security problem, which normally I could exit but this time it wouldn't budge. This time the remedy was easy, the clock had somehow  been set to the wrong date and time!

So this week I have been really tested with the world of technology but I have survived as here I am writing my blog on a computer that I thought was ready for the tip!
