it’s not about you

Okay, so if you know me, you know I’m technology-averse. Okay, so that’s not so much true as technology is averse to me. I live by the three-foot rule: so long as Joshua is within three feet of my computer, it works (I think it just likes boys, I’m just sayin’).

I could not care less about the latest you-know-what. When the Kim family got lost last year, I was amazed that James made a living reviewing gadgets and talking about them. I would rather be a customer service rep for an insurance agency (that probably won’t translate: CSR for big insurance = BAD) or be terminally pregnant or … something. If I had my husband’s job, I would kill myself. I HATE technology. Hate it. The only reason I have a blog is because Joshua set it up. Wi-fi? Joshua. Biz site? Joshua. Personalized ringtone? Joshua. God forbid he should ever die. I’d be screwed (please pause while I cross myself).

But this, THIS, I got hot about. I mean, this is right up there with learning to play Pole Position, with getting my first SLR, with, you know, itself.

Joshua gets downright giddy when he talks about it. We watched the video back when Steve Jobs introduced it and showed how to use it. Joshua turned to me, surely expecting me to be passed out on the couch and drooling from sheer boredom, and i was sitting completely erect, wide-eyed, staring at the computer screen and murmuring, “I want one…”

It comes out Friday. I’m not gonna stand in line or anything, and we’re not buying them right away - after all, we have perfectly good phones and computers (shift keys aside), but it will be likely our next tech purchase. And I CANNOT WAIT.
