Teaching An Old Dog Some New Tricks

in #new5 years ago (edited)

Being born almost half a century ago puts me into a few catagories....

a) Gen X
b) having gone through school and college during a time when "tech" was just in its infancy.

Now the first part I am cool with, I wear it with pride. I think it's the best time to be alive. But the second.... oh the second one....

That has just made everything in life seem to come at a price. A little extra time here to learn this new way to do things, the parents and older generation was in the same boat I am. So much new to learn.

And so here I am on Steemit and looking forward to learning even more new things; crypto, blogging (I know, it's been around awhile), but the tech behind it. The blockchain powered social media. THAT's the part that intrigues me.

So I will post on here a little about the things that I had to get over, hurdles if you will, and maybe it will help others in the same boat. New, no worry, just keep looking for those answers. They will come....
