Tech Couple

Most of my friends and family know I was probably the last person on earth to still have a regular cell phone with no internet, music, etc. I just didn't think I needed one and people drive me crazy that stay on their phones all day...you know in restaurants, meetings, parties, etc. Jason has had a smart phone for quite sometime, so if I ever needed anything I just used his.

Well, it all started when my Dad got a smart phone this fall...then Jason converted to the newest IPhone, then two weeks ago my mom (who not too long ago learned to attach a file to an email) got an IPhone as well. We were also at an AU game this fall and most of the people that sit around us (my parents friends in their early 60s) all had their smart phones out taking pictures. I finally told Jason in December when my contract was up, that I was ready to make the move...it was time to jump on the bandwagon (even if I am 4 years late). So now I'm an Iphone user and I LOVE it.....not sure why I waited so long???

It doesn't stop there either. If you know my dad, you know he loves technology and usually has the best TV, camera, computer, etc. I love all those things too, but I rather spend my $$ on a new piece of furniture, art for the house, etc. My parents recently got a tablet in the spring and every time we go home we both love playing on it. Jason then used a IPAD borrowed from work on a business trip and fell in love :) We kept wanting to buy one, but didn't think it was very smart to buy one with all the nursery items recently purchased....so we kept convincing ourself we didn't need one.

Well, we both got a BIG surprise Christmas Day. My sweet parents bought us an IPAD2. I really had no clue. I thought we may get a Kindle Fire since my mom was getting one, but had no idea an IPAD was under the tree. I'm addicted and once again I'm wondering what I did without one?? So, it has been a big week for me and technology....I have come a long way in a short amount of time. And I almost forgot...Jason got me a Sony Bloggie camcorder and my parents got me a more "high tech" camera. There should be no excuses not to have Patton's life documented in every way.

However, I will do my best not to become the annoying person that stays on their phone all day, keeps everyone posted on their daily life from what they are eating to when they are going to the bathroom. We will see??
