How has technology changed your job? – Asks the daily prompt.

I used to be a techy. Technology constantly made changes to my career in publishing. It came fast and furious and was exciting as hell to try to keep up with or set the trend.

Being over two years into retirement the changes I used to have to keep up with have passed. I’ve had to learn about E-tickets and Apple wallet. I’ve still to fully explore my navigation system in my car because most of the time I don’t care or I know where I’m going.

I’m getting away from tech, not because I’m scared of change or can’t learn new things. I just prefer a simpler life. Connecting with people in person instead of computer or phone. Not that I don’t like meeting people or having correspondence at all, it’s just not as special as seeing someone smile when they see you or a warm hug or handshake. That feeling will never be replicated online.

I guess one of my jobs in the future is maybe learning the technology of cornering mechanics and driving skills. I’ve been thinking of doing some autocross in the future. Or maybe some track time.

I guess the largest tech interactions I have are with my camera now. That is until my grandchildren start getting into in and I’ll have to learn again to keep up with them.
