What are some technological items or products you use but at one time you never thought you would ever use them? Touch-screen is mine.

  Yes, decades ago when touch-screen technology was new, I thought it was wasn’t for me because the first few times I tried to use on-screen keyboards, fat-fingering syndrome took over. I would clumsily hit several surrounding letters or numbers instead of just the one I wanted. it made me think that it was really made for people who have small, dainty fingertips, and meh, besides, it was probably just a passing fancy, a fad, and even though it wouldn’t last very long, I didn’t need it anyway. I could just put down the electronics and instead pick up a piece of 8.5x11 paper, put it in the Smith-Corona typewriter and hack away at the physical keys to my heart’s content.
