On line Generators - an exploration

Well, now I am on Task 10... playing around with online generators... fun but it can be a bit limited if you don't have alot of photos on your pc for playing around with...  but I still managed to have fun!

this is the result of my favourite one so far...

Cute Hey? Imagine if they could just tattoo photos on your arm via laser technology... so that you had a realistic photo image.... Classic!!

Nice arm too, I think.

Technology is so overwhelming!!

So here I am doing the 7th task of my 23 things.  It is to blog about something I find interesting that is technology related. 

What I really want to talk about is how overwhelming technology is to me. Just when I think that I am becoming  confident with some new technologies I realise that I really have only touched the surface.

Yes, I have some of the latest items of technology, but none of them are the 'latest'. I got really excited when I accessed facebook from my mobile phone a few weeks ago, and I love downloading podcasts every week on my ipod... but I know that I really know virtually nothing about what is out there in the technological world.

I read about things such as the gwhiz mobile learning assessment and I realise just how much I don't know, and I wonder if I can possibly ever become confident using technology as a 'digital immigrant'. 

I suppose that just like uni, I need to approach new technology on a day to day basis. Like anything I think that persistence will be the key. If I want it enough, I will achieve it.  I love learning about new technology but I know that I still have that terrible habit of being terrified of trying new things. I get so frightened of what might go wrong.

For example: I have been given a wireless router so that I can set up a wireless network at my house but I am so scared that I might stuff it up that I don't want to install it until the end of my semester so that I can make sure that I don't ruin my internet connection... because then I will be really stuffed!  So sad isn't it! :-(    sad but true. 

 So I am going to give myself a challenge... I am going to try and find out enough that I feel confident enough to install my new wireless router before the end of semester.  Let's see if I can do it! :-)

I will update you when it happens... suffice to say it will not be tonight. lol
