haha!! While I begin to write this I am ending up posting a blog for people to read(yet again). While I am happy to be a part of this day and age where all information is at your fingertip, I feel frustrated that you do not have a one-stop-shop for any information on anything anymore. Few years back you bought a piece of equipment and a user manual came with it for you to understand the workings of that equipment. So you read that, figured it out and you were good to go.
This past week I got my new kindle(not kindle fire). Its nothing hi-fi. Simple device to download books and read. Really want to give myself another chance to get back to my avid reader self. I miss that. It bothers me. But they redirected me to amazon site to find information on workings of the kindle. Great! Maybe no problem for people who love browsing any time of the day. I am the one who loves succinct information. For the past hour I have'nt been able to locate just one info I need. Please do not mind my ignorance regarding this, readers, but I have read up some free ebooks online and I thought kindle would be my best bet to readup whenever, wherever. Now its taking me time to research the workings of the kindle. When I brought this up with my kiddo, she goes like - 'kindle fire is user friendlier'. Really? What happened to technology at your fingertip with devices which where just released maybe say a couple of years back? Now they have better devices where consumers have to spend a lot more to get user-friendlier devices. Am bummed!!! Ya Ya!! I know! I know!! technology changes every second these days. I know there are quick user-guides for equipments, too. But still, its a concern. Its really getting tougher to catch up. Am sad about how much I dont know.
Am I that old already? Do I sound exactly like my own parents now? I keep questioning myself. I am an IT pro and yet small print is what I am trying to drive away from? I remember my dad said long ago - 'always answer your exam questions in bullet-points, clear and concise' and thats how I like expressing myself. Not just a jumble of words.
Thats yet another story - the lack of proper communication that I faced during my hospital visit last week. Its the best children's hospital to be at, for care and treatment, when your child needs immediate care. But like my friend put it - there is a lot of administrative chaos. As a parent it was difficult to cut through this chaos and understand the way things work. Anyways - will probably take up another page to share my frustration about that later.
leaving you with this thought - How much information do you think is enough to wade through OR to get a grip on anything?
