Don't get me wrong, I am not a technophobe. I love the way technology allows us to keep in touch with the world. I Google instead of using the dictionary. I email. I Facebook. I blog. I tweet. I bank online, shop online, make all my travel reservations online, and play games online. In other words I am as uptodate as the next guy.
However, I seem to have a problem when it comes to passwords. This morning for example I was going to do a new post but I couldn't remember my password to sign on. So I went to password recovery and had them send a link to my email. Well guess what when I tried to sign into email, I was told I wasn't using the correct password. To make a long (really long) story short after many attempts to get into my email I was locked out.
Ok I have another email account. I'll fix this problem or so I thought. But this time I couldn't remember my other email address. After many attempts, you guessed it, I was locked out again. I was told I would have to wait awhile to try again. So frustrated, I decided to walk away from the computer and do some laundry.
A couple hours later I tried again. I finally got my password changed but by then I had forgotten what I wanted to do. The problem isn't just that I am forgetful, but there are just too many passwords to remember. I recently got an Iphone which requires an Apple password, an Itunes password and an email password. All of this in edition to the passwords required for banking, shopping, Facebooking, tweeting, emailing etc etc.
Another frustration I have is just when I have learned to maneuver on a site, they change it. I feel like I am driving and someone has just put up roadblocks all around me. I feel like there is a room full of nerds watching me and falling over laughing. Please somebody tell me I am not the only one with these problems. I feel like my theme song should be the Beatles classic HELP.
