When I see most people today using the keyboard I realize just how fast both you and I could navigate the "keys".

What's nice is that some of my letters are actually worn off my computer keyboard, but it doesn't matter..........once you have them memorized.

What I cannot do is type on the tiny I-phone or Smart Phone.

We had to get one , as we were told that there were NO PHONES in the Lifestyle Visit homes......nor was there one in the home we rented for the extra month..........my husband who hunts and pecks on a keyboard, was able to manage to text and enter some data, but I found it frustrating.

The I-Phone did come in handy for a navigational device and for taking pictures and "sending them" off to family and friends immediately, plus a zillion other uses..........but as far as TYPING, forget about it.

I don't know how the younger folk "text" with two hands......once I was trying to contact the Hyatt Regency at the Orlando Airport as we decided to leave one day early to return the rental car and check in to our hotel rather than a mad dash to the airport...........and I was trying to contact the "desk" etc..........very frustrating.....as I had to type in all our information.........but I guess , like anything else, it would come to me eventually.
