A Millennial Left Behind In Her Old Ways

I am far from tech savvy. I can tinker with new technology and figure how to work it eventually, but I don't really have the drive to unless the situation is urgent. To put that in better perspective, I just recently figured out how to navigate around a Mac laptop because my job required me to use one. I grew up using a PC, which can seem much more complicated than using Apple products. It's just like learning a different language to me.

Apparently, I'm behind on social media as well. I overheard students talking about Facebook and saying "I never use it anymore, that's for old people."

I. Still. Use. Facebook.

The main forms of social media I thrive in are Facebook and Instagram. With Facebook, I can get more of what I need to say without being limited to character count and Instagram is there if I don't feel like looking at words and just seeing pictures.

The social media accounts that my friends are constantly on their phones for and that I do not have are Twitter, Snapchat, and Pinterest. Actually, I do have a Twitter account, but I never put the time into it. It just sits there with a few re-posted memes.

My friends always ask if I have a Snapchat. I never figured how to work it and I always hated opening videos on my phone. Live streaming isn't a thing for me, especially when my friends always record me while I'm eating. I'm sure everyone wants to see how many french fries I can fit in my mouth. *eyeroll*

I like the idea of Pinterest, but I didn't like how it notified me of everything I did via e-mail. I'm sure there is a way to turn it off. I may give this a try again because of the inspiration I can draw from it.

I also love using film camera's. I've had a few nice digital ones, but there's nothing like the nostalgia of  having something you have to wait for to develop. I'm also a piece of trash when it comes to taking care of  really fragile and expensive things, so those digital camera's broke over time.

It's not the best quality, but I do enjoy buying disposable camera's in Walmart for going out and about. I always anticipate the day I get them back because I don't always remember where I've been with them. I have one more film roll I need to develop today and I can't wait to drop it off.

My friend bought me a disposable Ilford Camera for my Bahamas trip.

I took this photo of a stray dog when I was visiting the Philippines. (Looks like Meeko, huh?)
