going back decades in literacies….writing technologies

So today I thought to go back to write in a diary – like I used to decades ago… I found was “blogging” bloglike even in the offline diary – but considering I never really blog actually – I just have a blog… hmmm I guess the form somehow gripped my mind?  Then I turned on my old Dos computer and tried to get into wordperfect – for a while I had difficulty remember how to get into the program…. hmmmI should probably go try out the electric typewriter too…of course I cant go back to my mechanical typewriter since that is in Hyderabad in some corner of my mother’s house…
