OUTDATED TECHNOLOGY

 

I’m looking for a new laptop computer.  I don’t want anything fancy.  A typical one will do just fine so long as it has a faster processing speed than my old one.  That’s all I really wanted.  I’ve looked online, but kept getting redirected to these websites for all these overly elaborate computers.  I’m not the targeted traffic for these sites.  I don’t want two screens or a laptop computer that comes with motion sensors or a laser targeting system to annihilate anyone who tries to steal it.  If it has a reliable word processor and a workable Internet connection, then it’s fine.  I don’t need anything ultramodern or hip.  I don’t play video games so I don’t need the latest gaming software or any add-ons.  I already have a printer that I really like and has never given me any problems and I don’t need a PC fax or anything else.  I have email.  Why do I need a fax machine?  I’d sooner use a telegraph, though I’ve never actually seen one or heard of one.  Actually, I had a teacher who became annoyed when the class was naming all these different methods of communication and no one mentioned a telegraph.  Of course no one had.  It was an outdated technology none of us had ever used.
