An Intro of Sorts

Caveat: I have no technological intuition/savvy. The clocks on my microwave, stove and dvd player all say 12:00 all the time, because I can never manage to set them correctly. Last week I broke a guy's blackberry while trying to put my phone number into it. However, I refuse to fear the unknown, and plan to attain the seemingly unattainable. Therefore, amongst (hopefully) many things, I hope this will be a forum to explore the role of technology in museums, and in our lives. That's the plan, anyway. We'll see how it actually plays out.

IMO, it helps to have a bit of intuition, but sometimes it is as good to just be methodological and decide where technology works (some neato things on the Internet) and where it really doesn't (programming VCRs)

I am in the same pathetic boat. A couple weeks ago I finally, by complete coincidence and accident, managed to set the clock in my car to the right time. I have no idea how I did it. Just a few days later, there was a thunderstorm and somehow the electricity from the lightning reset my clock to 12:00. Grrrrr....
