Where did the simple life go?

Ok well I'm a part of an unique generation.  I'm 29 so in my lifetime I've seen some pretty wild things happen.  During my lifetime I've seen internet come to just about every household in America.  I've seen people go from having to go to the store to shop to now just shopping online and having it delivered.  I've even seen USPS mail now being replaced by online bill pay services.  It is amazing what all has happened just in the last 10 or 15 years...but WHERE DID THE SIMPLE LIFE GO??? All these new "time-savers" are supposed to save us time, right????  I find myself at the the computer more hours than I should be and not getting done all I need to get done.  So, does all this technology really make life more simple or just more frustrating?  I mean really...used to "the net" was something you dip your fish out of the pond with if they were too big and heavy...and a download and upload...what is that?  Html? Say What?  Since I've built this website I've really ran into some challenges.  Yes, Vendio is great and SIMPLE but still having to read directions step by step to do the small things that you've never had to do before...it can be mind boggling.  Just trying to add my Adsense to my website last night was a puzzle and then when I did add it I couldn't get it to work.  My ads are working here on my blog though so that is good but to be honest I have no idea what I'm doing and if anyone is reading this I'm going to be really surprised!!!  Maybe things weren't simpler when I was younger, maybe it was just because I was younger that it seemed simpler...I don't know.  But seems like the older I get the more challenging everything becomes especially with all this Blogging, Twitter, Facebook, Website Building...it all has times of I can do what and how do I do that moments.  Hopefully, I'll get the hang of everything soon and be on the right track.  And hopefully orders will start pouring into my website.  It is almost Christmas time so it is the time when every shop shop shops...right??? I did get my 4th order yesterday and was so very proud.  It was only a $9.95 order but STILL...IT WAS AN ORDER and I was so very thankful.  I guess for a new website that is pretty doggone good...4 orders since building it on Oct. 15th.  Life may not be more simple now but at least I can work from home (my brick & mortar store is right next door) and still make a living...I guess that counts for something and worth the headache of all this new technology! Sooooooooooo...now I'm gonna get off of here for today and get some work done.  I wish there was a simple way to wash that mountain of dishes in the kitchen...2010 and I DO NOT HAVE A DISHWASHER!!!  If you haven't already be sure to check out my website at http://www.memoriesgeneralstore.com/ .  Thanks & God Bless!!!
