So as you have figured out, I am a member of Team Technology-Inept, and in my technology resources class, we're working on a group project.
I don't think I'm letting any cats out of any bags, so I'll just say- my group (NY-Us) is creating a photo blog project of NYC architecture, with commentary from people we meet about the reasons they love living in NY. Group- if that was a secret...my bad, y'all.
So here is the technology-is-hard complaint about this group project thing...when technology is hard for you, it's a struggle to be accountable to other people about work that needs to get done. Let's be real, the work we're doing isn't THAT challenging, except for the movies part. That I don't even know about. But taking pictures- not that hard. Except I'm pretty sure we're going to have to do something magical to these photos before we put them in the Prezi (did you see my post about Prezi not being that hard?) so that's going to suck. And I just feel guilty because I feel so behind in this whole technology thing, and I definitely don't get a lot of what is going on....so....I'm feeling like a shitty group member.
The other part of being a member of Team Technology-Inept is, our project isn't that fabulous. All the other groups are planning something fabulous and amazing, and I can barely take a good photo, let alone put a movie in something. I mean, what? Really now? I don't want to let my group down, and I don't want to be the crappy group that doesn't have a good project. So there's that.
In general, being Technology Inept in a room full of techno-smart folks is really pretty hard, especially when all of those people are like "Oh, it's easy! You just do [insert techno babble that makes me feel crazy because I don't speak Portuguese]."
