@joybringer1, Smiling because I just looked up the definition of "Luddite" and I am one too!

It is not that I don't appreciate the additional aids newer technologies provide but that with aging, I've become less inclined and more anxious about learning how to use them. I'd heard the term but now know I Yam one and you are not alone!!

I am glad to hear I am not alone. I just knew there had to be someone else out there like me, in that one small way. We do manage, don't we? I am about to take in a roll of film to be developed. Everyone laughs when I pull out my camera. They say "Is that a camera that uses film?" Yes, it is! I have one of the other kind, but have not attempted to use it. It belonged to my father-in-law and is now mine. I like to hold a photo in my hand. If I caught images of wildlife that are good, I like to send them to friends with a handwritten note. I have a friend here who turns out great photos and makes note cards out of them. I just received a new batch. Now I will use them to tell friends I am thinking of them. I am told by friends that they love to receive these notes. My mother and grandmother both sent notes and letters to many people. I carry on the tradition and think of them. @joybringer1 aka as a Luddite.
