I have them backed up on a memory stick and before windows 10 I knew where they were . But now when I save a photo god only knows where they go .
I never know there are ‘libraries ‘ all over the place .
Then there is the iPhone and tablet my laptop is a Lenovo and I have no idea how to get get photos form the iPhone to the laptop .
When I die they will die with me .
Now and again I send my children photos so they can have them
I quite enjoy technology for the most part, and can find my way round well enough not to break the internet!
I do wish society didn’t rely so much on technology though. 
There should have been a cable come with the phone. If it has a USB connection at the other end, plug into the laptop and drag and drop files.
I’m rubbish…I can do emails and take photos and I can find my way here and to a backgammon site I play at thats about it but to be fair I don’t need much else and I dont want to spend all my time with technology…it can take over.
Just remembered Pinterest…I like Pinterest lots of good ideas…and WhatsApp the kids message me a the time on there…Binkin heck I’m more tech savvy than I thought 
gone are the days of “plug it in, switch it on”

I’m pretty good, really and I make myself have a go, which is why I’m hopping mad today!
My son and I are buying out other family members share of a property we all inherited, then he’ll live in it
We had to appoint a solicitor, who needed proof of identity etc using an online verification and search system
And the cheeky moo said to my son, and I quote ……
“I don’t know how old mum is or if she’s ok with computers but if she can’t manage it she can come in and we’ll do it here”!
SonBoy is cracking up

I have that absoutely nothing happens .
I have to confess my computer wouldn’t ‘find’ my phone using this method. So I had to transfer all photos to the memory card, take that out and use a card reader in the computer.
My son can’t make tomorrow night ,because of covid
I’m going to try and figure out this Tom,Tom,sat nav, YouTube would be a great place to start…
I have at last managed it .
By opening the photos app on my laptop and plugging in the iPhone .
It took a time because it couldn’t find it first and then kept saying it hadn’t done it .
Now I have these photos everywhere .

Perhaps Jazzi will be able to help.
I wouldn’t have a clue where to start, you’re well ahead of me.
Completely like me. Shared laptop at home. No smartphone, Problem renewing my DBS security. All my ID documents had to be photographed and sent as a QR code, Gave up in the end and carried on without one.
There comes a time when one has to acknowledge that it wasn’t your gate that was left open or, your horse that bolted

I’m just glad that I no longer have to worry about keeping up with the technology and systems at work. That stuff used to drive me to distraction - clunky, non-intuitive and never having a help function that was helpful. It seems so much easier to only have to worry about an old PC, a fairly new smartphone and a kindle. Even my car is much more electrical than electronic.
i like plug it in switch it on
They were talking about “AI psychosis” on a news report the other day. Some people prefer to live in a world with AI “friends” who tell them what they want to hear rather than deal with reality.
