Jeff Foxworthy does a wonder routine called you might be a Redneck if.... It is almost a part of our everyday American -Speak.
I was just on line working on ordering a service and I suddenly realized how much I hate certain types of technology. I am calling it over tech. An example of over tech is; I was in a store and could not buy bologna because the computers that price were being updated. I do not want my refrigerator telling me not to eat something. That is what a wife is for. So for those of you who feel overwhelmed at times by technology, here are some key signs that you are in trouble;
You Might be a Luddite if,
1 It takes you 5 minutes to text, How are you, and still do not know how to find the question mark
2 You think Plaxo is an ancient Greek Philosopher
3 Your cell phone ring is the old rotary dial ring, and you LIKE it that way
4 Your speed dial is a small spiral notebook in your shirt pocket.
5 You know what a spiral notebook is.
6 You were blogging for a year before you knew what the word blog means.
7 You still do not know what the word blog means.
8 You refer to a computer screen as a CRT or a VDU
9 You thought you could take medication for Tweeting
And finally,
You could be a Luddite if you will spend 20 minutes finding a number to call on a screen for help rather than press the on line chat

Hey now....I have a couple of spiral notebooks. Darn it.
My wife loves spiral notebooks and I suspect her ringtone.
Your friend in Charlottesville
What do you call those people that still believe clicking "on-line chat" actually will result in you getting an answer to your question?
To Dan in #3 - I've had some great chat experiences! HP has one of the best chat call centers I've ever used!
Charlie: This is just sad - for me. I am firmly entrenched in the Luddite group. I still refer to music as being on albums - not CDs or not the I music library (???)
Hey Charles and Jane come out of the phone booth( a now ancient relic) and admit you are a ludditie
Dan you are right
Richard you are the guy we luddities are "going to get"
Valerie when you say vinly today you better be talking about floors or you could be a ludditie
HA! HA! Thanks for explaning what a Luddite is to this GenXer.
