Twitter, FaceBook, Flixwagon, 12second.tv...aaaargh!!!

There is so much to learn! I feel like I'm a second grader in a quantum physics class!

The challenge Lucy and seem to be having is that we can't understand the instructions. We're used to press here or click there. Push "On" to turn the program on, and "Off" to turn the program off.

I'm not complaining. It's my own fault I haven't kept my education up to date. I'm just venting.

When we recently bought and attempted to set up Session Music Producer...so easy a three year old could do it they told us!.... we ran into terms like input gain control, monitor mix levels, connectivity status display and default buffers to control latency.

We have allowed ourselves to become illiterate in techno lingo. It's not that the world has gotten too fast but rather we have gotten lazy! There, I said it! The "L" word. I don't want to be one of these guys that complains how fast things are changing, I want to keep up with the other kids.

One of the things we are learning is that...we can learn! You're never too old to change, to grow and to learn. If you run into a problem, just read, mutter, cuss if you must,and do the best you can. If you get stuck, swallow your pride and ask a ten year old for help!
