Kicking and Screaming

My maternal grandmother was born in 1893.  I remember watching her cook using a hand beater rather than an electric one.  I suggested to my Mom that she buy her an electric one.  The two of them laughed at the idea.  Granny never needed electricity to beat eggs or flour. Why start now?   Later I remember the first microwaved we ever owned.  Mom was reluctant to use it.  The concept just didn't make any sense.  Reluctantly she came along.  Realizing that I should not have made fun of my elders, this is my first experience at blogging.  I was brought along "kicking and screaming" but the fear has faded away of doing something  completely foreign.  I told myself that it was because I wasn't interested in learning but the truth was that I was afraid of approaching something that I knew nothing about.
