Technology

Isn't technology great? I am the first to admit that I am not all up on the hip stuff however, I find that it's the simple things in life that make me smile. :) Just recently, Ken and I purchased a Garmin Nuvi 650. Ok, it was yesterday! I have been playing with all the features trying to figure everything out. As I was loading MP3's onto it I started thinking..... (yes, I know that is a surprise for some of you) I have an FM transmitter that I purchased for my portable DVD player so I could listen to movies through my car stereo. I wondered if it would work for playing these MP3's through my stereo too. So I went searching high and low for it. Those of you that know me should KNOW that is a lie. I knew exactly where it was. lol (Gosh I am so anal sometimes) I plugged it into the GPS and then tuned the radio to the correct frequency and voila.... it worked!!! How fantastic is that? You would think I would be satisfied with just that, right? WRONG!!! My brain wheels started spinning again and I thought to myself (good thing I don't think out loud or people would have me committed) I wonder if this will also work with my iTunes songs that I have loaded onto my iPhone. I had purchased a $10 headset adapter from Radio Shack a couple of weeks ago in preparation of buying some really nice earbuds (which I also purchased recently). This adapter is supposed to let you plug in any type of headset/headphones and use it with your iPhone. So this morning on my drive into work, I decided to try it. Guess What?!? It worked! I could now play my iTunes songs through my car stereo speakers But was I satisfied yet? Well, yes and no but why not try to shoot for the stars! I then attempted to make a phone call on my iPhone. Now how awesome is this....it faded out the music and made the call. Not only that, the person's voice on the other end of the call was going through my stereo speakers! Talk about being totally hands free now! SWEET!!! At that point, I decided that I was finally satisfied. Like I said, isn't technology great?
