Instagram Day – #1

I have finally ditched my old phone whose most advanced feature was Predictive Text – that tells you how antique it was. In its place I now have a free iPhone 3 courtesy of my daughter who has recycled her old one – thanks very much Sophie. I have been tutored in the essentials and if I pass the competence test I may be recommended to upgrade to a ‘5’ later this year when the wallet will finally be called into play.

Welcome

In the meantime my stubby fingers are slowly getting to grips with the required techniques to gently stroke and touch (not stab) the correct square millimetre of the screen. It’s a frustrating process at times and I don’t find it particularly intuitive – but then I’m reaching the stage when all new technology seems to assume knowledge I don’t have. I look back with affection to the good old days when software came with a reference manual that sat open on the desk beside the keyboard and to which I could refer.

I now have Instagram – you guessed! And today I exhibit, humbly, my first Instagram images. A bit of trial and error here too – I’m still pressing little icons on the basis of ‘I wonder what happens if I press this’. Half the time it takes me some place I didn’t want to go, but slowly my navigation skills are improving.

This will be an occasional Friday feature when I have something worth showing. That could be a week or a month. Stay tuned. And enjoy your weekend.
