Do you ever just feel like you’re never going to keep up with
technology? Like once you think you’ve figured something out, some techno
imp/evil nerd adds some new feature(s) just to make your life miserable. There
are days when I want to renew my membership in Luddites-R-Us.
This week I discovered that the important phone call I was
waiting for got sent to Missed Calls because the phone was plugged in and
decided not to ring. (I mean, who told it not to ring?!)
Today, a friend posted about Facebook’s Message’s “Other”
file. I didn’t know that FB had an “Other” file that it could dump messages in.
I spent the morning “messaging” people whose messages got stuck in the other
file and saying “sorry.”
So if you’ve left me a voicemail, sent me an email, messaged
me, etc., etc., and I never replied, it’s because I’m techno-incompetent. Sorry.
I’m trying.
What's the "other" file? There's an "other" file? Don't worry, you're not alone in the luddite club. They sneak in updates every two seconds, so they can't expect us to keep up with every option. ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Carolyn! I'm glad I'm not the only one who gets frustrated. Even my daughter, a techno wizard, didn't know about the "other box." But unlike mine, hers was only filled with spam.
ReplyDeleteRe. the "other" button. When you click on the FB "messages" button, there's a bar that says "inbox" and "other." Click on "other."
There's an "other" file?!
ReplyDeleteOMG O_O
Yes. I am a definite closet Luddite.
