into the 21st Century, belatedly
SUNDAY 12/830/18 6:35PM--I'm getting a tablet; originally the idea was to store song lyrics--easier to carry than a fairly thick notebook...what *I* want it to do is cut and paste song lyrics into Microsoft Word and, if necessary, have them handy if the memory fails me...I'm not sure, but I might have to use Amazon's word processor (if there IS one) or whatever Google may have available, after I load Google Play...
And for the first time, I asked SIRI, my iPhone's voice assistant a question and "she" answered it...I asked "her" to play a certain Springsteen song, but she picked a different one...I think that's because SIRI is connected to my iTunes Library, apparently even if I acquired the songs in a rather sneaky way, like SMART GIRLS by Brian Wilson...I DON'T think it's connected to Spotify, but I'll find out when I go upstairs to watch Star Trek...
7:30PM--I went to Google Docs, pushed some buttons and was somehow able to create a Word document outta the lyrics to BORN TO RUN, that I got from Google...well, actually I created a Google document and sent THAT to Google Docs...I think this means that filling the tablet with dozens of songs (lyric-wise) might be relatively easy...the procedures seem to be the same, only the final destination (tablet instead of laptop) has changed...I think I have to upload Google Play into the tablet first of all...I'm optimistic about that...
7:48PM--Lotsa tech advancement in the last hour...I forgot that it's Sunday, I have to record Star Trek before I can watch it...but SIRI did open Spotify instantly...wow, I'm blown away...
10PM--this might mean that, using SIRI I can listen to Music in the car w/o fiddling with the phone as much...
11PM--and now I have Google Docs on my phone, synced to my laptop...I'd like to think that almost anything I can do on the laptop, I can do on my iPhone...
MONDAY 12/31/18 7:30AM--so I did some editing on my phone and it showed up on the laptop...and using the phone, I e-mailed it to Dianne...She just put Google Docs on HER phone and (I think) tablet...Actually, I don't think I'll need Microsoft Word on my tablet...
8:06AM--still learning stuff...I sure hope I can remember all of it...maybe I shouldn't, but I DO assume that all this stuff I'm doing on the laptop and/or phone will be do-able on the tablet...because the tablet is bigger than the phone, just about everything should be easier to do...
12:41PM--still messing around...I come up with an idea, then try to make it happen...so far I've been successful...
1PM--and everything is still going to the phone, I think...
