A little about Low-Tech Grandma
Welcome to Low-Tech Grandma!
Embracing technology with as little stress as possible.
Welcome to LTG!
Hello, I’m Felicia and I created this blog because, honestly, I’m not racing to keep up with technology, I’m walking. As a matter of fact, I might even be shuffling. At a time when tech moves at lightning speed, I prefer to move at grandma speed, slower, steadier, and more curious (I was going to say curiouser, but decided not to).
Low Tech Grandma is where I share my sometimes frustrating and sometimes loving adventures into the digital world. I explore gadgets, apps, settings, shortcuts, games and more. It’s all from the perspective of someone who didn’t grow up with a smartphone in hand. And I’m perfectly fine with that.
What You’ll Find Here
- Simple tech tutorials . Explained in plain English
- Honest product reviews. No hype, just what works for me
- Step-by-step guides. At least from the perspective of what worked for me.
- A bit of complaining. Yep, if you use tech, you’ve got to complain from time to time.
I write for folks like me who aren’t necessarily anti-tech, but who don’t want to feel bulldozed by it either. Whether you’re 30 or 80, I think you might find something useful here.
A Bit of History
Many years ago, when my children were young, I created a site called Tidbits and Stuff. On that site, I wrote about various tidbits. I shared recipes for making homemade laundry detergent and created crossword puzzles to help little ones with their vocabulary. I also wrote about things like insurance, technology, and how to recover a lawn after Fido has had his way with it.
My kids have since grown up, and so have my interests. I still use the homemade laundry detergent when washing clothes, but my laundry batches are smaller and less challenging (no more soiled football or cheerleading uniforms). I have a bit more time to explore other interests (when I’m not being a grandma to the most beautiful grandchildren in the world). To that end, I’m able to spend a little more time learning and writing about some of the not-so-latest technology.
Why “Low Tech”?
This blog is a ‘my perspective’ type of blog. It’s about how I use, view, and review technology. Whether we like it or not, we all use technology. Sometimes it’s nice to have a different perspective on how these things affect our lives. Think of this blog as one grandma’s perspective (I’m no guru, just a grandma).
The older posts were originally written on my now-defunct Tidbits and Stuff blog. I’ve transferred them here to keep all of my technological reviews (rants) in one place.
From My Screen to Yours
Have a look around the site. It’s always a work in progress. Comments are welcome. Since this isn’t my first site, I do know that spam and rude comments seem to be the Internet norm. That is not the case here. I consider this blog an extension of my home. If you stop by for a visit, please mind your manners.
