Techno Rock-star Gigi

I get this message on my phone. My granddaughter wants me to download Messenger For Kids so that her kiddos can talk with their Gigi. 

                        Oh, my lord. Something else to figure out! 

Even though I wasn't born in this age of technology, it has never scared me... I take that back... It scares me in that just about the time I have it figured out how to do something on one program, they up and change it. But, I keep diving back into the water.

So, I downloaded this app. The little icon said I had two attempts from someone who wants to talk with me. I opened it up but guess what, by the time I found it, the person/persons were long gone. And, I'm left with this weird screen. 

I am not sure I can manage this app or if I even want to. But, when it does work and I hear those sweet little voices speaking to me, I'll be a techno rock-star Gigi again.

  1. Well hello techno-rock star Gigi. The pace of change is incredibly fast these days. I finally got a smart phone two years ago and find it very useful, and now with social distancing many of us oldsters are learning to use new tech, for me it is Zoom and Instacart to order groceries. It is rather tiring dealing with changes.

  2. Well, Latane, I learned how to use Skype so I could see and talk with my 7 year old grand daughter during this pandemic. It's kind of fun... I've used it to talk to both a cousin and a friend in New Orleans too recently. Only problem with Skype is that one has to make sure that you have on your company pj's. And now that I'm ordering groceries online for curb-side pickup, I find it an interesting way to shop. It's definitely been a learning experience.

  3. I have standing dates at 3:00 each day using Zoom. MWF its with granddaughter in Buffalo (2.75 years old) and TTh with granddaughters in NH (6 and 3.5 years old). I read them stories, talk and share puppet shows.

  4. We tried Messenger for Kids with my guys, age 4-9 at the time, but they got bored with it in a couple days. FaceTime on the iPad is what has stuck, and it’s the best. So simple. Just click on Nana’s picture and she appears! Sometimes the littlest guy calls me very late, when he is supposed to be sleeping and I AM sleeping!

  7. Latane, I'm sure that with some help and your own ingenuity at figuring things out you will do just fine with new technology. Keep us updated when you can and enjoy your weekend.
