I would love to go back to my younger generation. The dreaded arrival of a laptop computer makes me insane! What in the world would I do with an electric wording device?
I’m simple. Apparently though, that does not work for my grown children. They feel their mom needs to stop being “technologically ignorant.” After much quarrelling, I finally agreed to their purchasing a laptop for me.
When I see the UPS truck pull into my driveway, I have to say, I was not happy. Taking the package from the delivery man, I slowly turn to enter my home. I go to my sewing room and sit to open the box.
I sat the package on my sewing table and looked at it for a long time. I am not sure what held my hands to my side. I finally pulled off the tape.
I felt myself hyperventilating. “How am I going to do this?” I spoke aloud to myself. “I’m a plain country girl. I milk cows, feed chickens, grow gardens, sew clothes, what in the world will I do with this thing!”
I carefully pushed the opening latch, lifted the lid and was faced with a blank, black screen and a keyboard. I realized, this does not seem as threatening as I had thought.
All of a sudden, I thought of something even more horrible than the laptop computer. I could hear the evil little thing laughing at me! I turned my eyes to see the glowing little devil!
My hands shook as I grabbed those directions and yes, they were intimidating! All the letters of the alphabet jumped before my sight! I saw no words only meaningless gibberish! My brain was aching! My eyes were dry! My temperature was rising!
Those intimidating instructions! I silently screamed as the words on the pages made no sense! My eyes were blind! My brain was tormented! My temperature was starting to boil!
I wanted to scream, run, throw, spit, cry or anything to stop the turmoil inside me! How was I going to learn to use this scientific demon which I allowed to enter my home! This laptop computer could definitely be the death of me!
I could hear the faint ringing of a phone. When I first got my cellular phone it was difficult for me, too. It was evil to me in the beginning. Then eventually, I grew closer to it and lost my fear. Maybe, that would happen with my laptop computer.
“Mom?” I heard the voice of my eldest child. “Did you get your new laptop computer?” “Are you excited?” I did not know what to say. I certainly did not want to disappoint my offspring. They were only doing what they thought was best. I started to speak but, was cut off.
“I know how horrible electronics are for you. The family and I should be over this weekend to help you get to know your gift. I sure hope you enjoy it. I love you very much and will talk with you later. Bye!”
Well, I just might be able to get past the insanity of my laptop computer after all.
