3 technologies I learnt last week

In a previous blogpost I talked about my personal difficulties in keeping up with new technologies.

And in another blogpost I talked about how this resulted in the breakup of a friendship with one of my friends.

So I am now making an effort not to “live in a restrained manner” by learning and trying to keep abreast with the developments in technologies that directly affect my life.

Regarding that, here are 3 things I learnt last week, just by following simple instructions:

1) Install Instagram app;

2) Install WhatsApp app; and

3) Scan my mobile for menu at restaurants.

I have to say I am quite happy and satisfied with these.

Of course, this is hardly the end of all my troubles: I would need to keep up with technological developments my whole life if I don't want to become the proverbial dinosaur that is on the brink of extinction.

I am still keeping my promise that this blog will be a one-stop platform for all my activities. I may post an occasional photo on my new Instagram account but I will put that in my blog too. But I am not going to post anything new on my Flickr because I feel my Instagram and blog are enough. Likewise, if I did any videos (which I haven’t done in a long, long time), I would upload it to my YouTube channel and embed it here.

As for Twitter, I am not going to be on it, although I have re-activated my Facebook account, which, again I have to say, I am not going to update, although I am going to use its Messenger service to message and chat with my family, friends, colleagues, and acquaintances.

As for TikTok, Snapchat, Telegraph, Signal, and all that jazz, I have decided to ignore them, because Viber and Whatsapp are enough for me - at least for the time being. And there is my account on LinkedIn, the network for professionals which continue to facilitate me find writing work as a freelancer.
