I had to look up "luddite." Yes, there's more than a little luddite in me. I have friends who have never used a computer, a tablet or a smart phone. I think I'm lucky that I used to publish a newsletter back when I worked for a living. I did a lot of swearing every time I had to learn a new program. But it gave me a boost into the digital age. And I learned enough that I can deal with. "For your convenience, we've upgraded . . . " etc. It does worry me that there may come a time when you can't get a human to help you, and I'll be stuck. it also worries me that people rely more and more on someone else (or something else) doing all the thinking for them. I worry about someone at the top of the technology ladder deciding that he/she wants to take over the world.

On a different note, R, that's great that you were able to give away something you didn't need to someone who needed it. Good feeling, right?

I am going to try to find out if my insurance was billed for some lab tests. I have two insurances at the moment. I plan to drop Health Net, and go with United Health Care, but I want to make sure that I have correctly signed up for it and that they will take care of their portion of my medical expenses. As in why am I getting billed for the lab tests? This is why I'm a luddite.

Good wishes to you both.
