Technology for the Technologically Challenged



One thing I am doing at the moment in preparation for my ministry in the Philippines is figuring out ways to stay connected with people (hence this blog). Over the past few days, this has involved navigating my way through various innovations that are far more technological than I am! I was glad to discover that at least one of these technologies was designed for people like me.

I set up an email program called MailChimp last night and was pleasantly surprised at how easy this was to do. I also found the process rather amusing.

One of the first instructions I had to follow was, “Click the big button below to activate your MailChimp account”. Directly under those words was a large blue button that said “Activate Account”. It sounded just like something you would find in a children’s book (“Find the big blue button”). But maybe that’s just the teacher in me coming out… :-)

If only technology could always be so easy!
