Thing 14: I Pod touch

It is a good idea. The map page was excellent....... "show me the way to go home, I'm tired and I want to go to bed.......". It drew a line to show me the way I needed to go to get home. It told me it would take me 90 minutes. Sounds about right from when I walked home from here when the snow came down!

Took me an awfully long time to enter my details to get onto libair. My nails are too long and it took me a while to find out how to hit the keys and make sure I got the right key. Hit sharply and it works better. Don't know if I would have the patience to get onto it regularly - I prefer a full size keyboard.

I've got the internet on my phone. I'll practice on that.

This is an interesting piece to explain that people who do not think that they have a particular ancestry are surprised when the find out that they do have a Welsh ancestry after all.

Thing 3

I got here! I don't really know if I want to be here though - I'm not really a computer person. I use the computer when I need to find something out.
I'm about 3 weeks behind with "23 things", but I'll get there eventually.
There were a few things in the introductory session that interested me. The "Wonder wheel" seemed a good idea to help me to see alternative words for searches. Widgets were available and very varied. It all takes too much time when I feel I should be working. Perhaps this is work - investigation can be a good thing - but enthusiasm for it can be low - if it helps in the future I will be pleased
