"A low tech mind in an author......."
Just for the record, Janie, I am not an author. I'm a writer.
The difference:
Authors desire recognition.
Writers desire to be paid.
Point two: Why would you assume that somebody whose skill is with words would be knowledgeable about high tech stuff? Take me: I envision an electron as being something about the size and shape of a small pea. Given that, how could I ever understand something like computers, and cell phones, and blackberries (whateverthehell they are).
Fact is, the 12 on the VCR keep flashing until one of the kids comes home for a visit.
I do know how the TV works, though: Magic!!
