I’m travelling again so I’m trying out my phone dictator once more. 

You would think that it would be easier to come up with something to say without the distraction and added thought process of needing to type. In fact it feels a strange and awkward process without the keyboard. And the technology is definitely not perfected yet. 

I’m staying with my dad briefly. He is over 80 and of course for him the adoption of new technology is even more complicated.

It’s easy for both of us to blame the new gimmicks for our own limitations and point to its imperfections. It’s easier to stick with what we know. 

But humans have been having to adapt to new innovations forever.

It’s  probably better for our brains at whatever stage they are at to at least try and live in this brave new world.

Because one thing is sure. There will be something new to try tomorrow.
