iTech

I chose a masculine sounding (think..."transformers") name for myself in this blog for several reasons.

I am a feminine lady at heart, tech-idiot all my life, love beautiful things like barbie dolls when I was a kid, never watched transformers.
More skilled at communicating with the pen and paper than a keyboard and screen.
Found out what iTunes was finally... 3 weeks ago.
Learnt to sync my iPhone to laptop also 3 weeks ago.

I have decided to be transformed...

Why?

The 2 energetic bouncing boys in my life are pushing me out of my comfort zone. Aged 4.5 and 3, my two sons are stretching me in many ways.
First I have to learn to play like a boy, then I got learn to watch tv programs that boys like, and hardest of all adapting myself to technology based gadgets that they can handle better than me!

I am not even talking about really difficult high tech stuff... After all how much can a 4 and 3 year old handle? I am talking about playing games on the iPod touch, iPhone, opening a window on my husband's MacBook pro, using the tv remote control....

So, I have made a resolution to be transformed...
To embrace technology instead of avoiding it.
To be future ready instead of future fearful.
To be tech savvy instead of tech dummy.

It took me quite a few months to deliberate over this before coming to this resolution.
It may sound really silly to some and no big deal to others....
But for me,its one of the biggest recent decisions of my life.

So even as I begin this blog, my journey starts now ...
