In better late than never I admitted, somewhat reluctantly, that I am late to the game in the technology environment.

Nonetheless, when I read about some technological update that is available I wistfully think, if I knew how to load that, use that, banish it if I hate it, I'd download it.

Here's one, though, that I know I should look into. Coupons for the iphone.

I might have wanted to use a coupon, once upon a time, in the early days of coupon redemption, pre scanners, but remember the eyes of the people behind the person, rummaging in their purse, wallet, pant pockets, burning holes into the persons' back, having to wait their turns, while the myopic check out clerk looked for the expiration date. "This is invalid" she snarled. "It expired yesterday." 

That was it for me.

Now it appears, you can have coupons sent to your cellphone not only avoiding the wrath, but basking in the awe of those behind you, clearly admiring your technological wizardry. 

Until, of course, the technology fails.
