The first step is not always the hardest...

The world of technology is changing all the time. It can change dramatically from one week to the next. Cell phones, computers, the Internet and even home entertainment technology are some of the things that often evolve too fast to keep up with.

The newer generations of people are finding commonplace the things that, to some of you, can sometimes not only be the marvels of a new age, but can also be intimidating to use. What new technology some of you may struggle with, others around you are easily adopting and adapting to in an ever-changing world.

As you watch your more tech-savvy family members and friends drift further and further into an ocean of new technology, you can sometimes find yourself lost at sea.

Welcome to your digital life jacket.

Each of the posts here will be a mini-tutorial on various technologies or technology-related items, like email or applications that work with or via the Internet like Facebook.

I will start off with some of the basics; mostly just how to get started. Later, I will expand upon the basics and show you how to fine-tune your experience and hopefully surprise your more technological acquaintances.

If there is something specific you would like to know more about or how to do, then feel free to email me via the blog. I'll do my best to answer every one that I can.

Full credit for this blog goes to my parents' friend Deb, who thought up the idea over dinner.

Here you go Deb. Enjoy.
