Technology Nightmares!!!!

So when some money fiiiiiiiiiiiinally came in, I thought I would catch up to the last fifty years of technology and purchase a few things for myself. Knowing that I should never again have the money to do so, it was investing in my old age future days of breaking boredom. So, first I got a Nook E-reader. Then I got a laptop, digital camera, and android phone. Fun fun. Determined to set up and learn all of them. Never, never ever buy all that tech at one time. In four days I was crazier than a bed bug. Going to bed at night was a huge relief just for the pure joy of getting away from it all if only for awhile. Now I am in technology induced depression over it all. Now I think of it as my job, I get up early and start the troubleshooting. Why can't my NOOK find the perfectly good wi-fi connection right here in the living room? Now where is that u-tube page on getting my computer to recognize the digital camera? Is it my age that is the problem? Or lack of tech skills? Whatever it is, ask me in a couple of months from now, and maybe then I will know something. Until then, thank God for U-tube!!
