Totally relevant to the argument about 21st century IT, still stuck in the 20th century. Definitely back to the future innit....

I personally struggle to keep up. So I have stopped struggling. I embrace what I know and continue to plod on

You know what?... I am quite proud to state I have come a hell of a long way in just over 2 years in terms of tech spoken about on this forum.

January 2013 I hardly dare post a damn thing for fear of looking a fool. With the help and guidance of a special few (you know who you are) I am getting along just fine thanks.

I have no problem admitting to technophobia.....I find if you are open and honest and are prepared to laugh at yourself then people on here will go the extra mile to help you out....

I know I could probably knock the socks off anyone here with medical technology....so my motto is

Know your strengths, admit your weaknesses...and never ever be afraid to ask....

Now...get down off your damn soapbox Cleo...

Couldn't agree more, ask me anything about automatic transmission, V8, V12 and Wankel engines and I could lose anyone in technical terms and details about the intricacies of how they work, advantages of 10 bearing crankshafts as opposed to 5 and anything at all to do with diesel engines and plant machinery.  Each to their own.

Mobile phones....? I learn from the experts on here, they know who they are...

[Cleoriff]

Yeah but....you do a damn good avatar @jonsie I mean...just look at mine.....:smileywink:

(you must be used to working with very specific instructions)

Oh and not forgetting @MI5 who found me just the right cougar....

Tech etiquette

I use my phone how I wish, what I mean is ... Voicemail always Off + Phone always On (eldery parents may wish to ring me) & my son usually rings me once a fortnight 

My phone will just ring & ring & ring until the caller decides to give up, because I've got the voicemail turned permanently off ... my choice for personal reasons as to whether I answer a call

I'd say its up to me how I use my phone

Over to you Tech Savvy People ... please I'd be grateful for your thoughts

[MI5]

I do the same. To stop it ringing just press vol up which will silence the ringer but the caller won't know so they will think you aren't able to answer.

Please could one someone arrange for the title of this thread to inclue 'tech general' ... ... ... because it would be more accurate considering the post I have just made above  ^  ^  ^ 

Thank you in advance of anticipated / hoped for help in acheiving this

I can only change the title from here onwards.....

[Cleoriff]

Of course it's up to the individual as to how they use their phone. My phone is capable of so much more than I use it for but I am not bothered.....I paid for it so I can do what I like ....In fact I could sell it tomorrow and folk would think it's a brand new phone (S Pen...well I have never used it...so there)...

I never have voicemail on....I have a few numbers added to my reject list...if its a number I don't recognise I wont answer.....

I have been glad of it this holiday though. The WiFi has been constant so when the laptop failed the phone has had a lot of use...
