It's amazing how casually we expect everything digital to work all the time everywhere.
Take our local community gym for instance. Quick back story: Just as we were leaving for the gym this morning, my wife discovered her iPod was dead. She likes to walk to music. Hey, why don't you take your new Nook and listen to the music stations we logged onto it. Sounded like a great idea. Except it wasn't.
We found out the hard way that you needed a wifi hot spot to connect to your Nook music stations. Oh? And our gym is NOT wifi friendly. Humph. Who would have thought.
OK, time for Plan B. Just this morning we had bought our first Nook book, Chris Mathews' “Jack Kennedy.” So instead of tread-milling to music, my wife spent her walking time reading. She loved it.
We'll install her music on the Nook eventually.
So many details in the digital world. I'm trying not to let them muddle me more than usual.
