Colleen: Okay I was listening to introduction of your show when you talked about how pervasive technology was getting in our life.

David Lawrence: Right.

Colleen: And I wondered how many people might be like me that don*t have a lot of money but didn*t need it in order to do what I do, which is I have an old laptop it makes CDs, it makes DVDs and my work is a hypnotists. I make my own CDs; I have got an inverter in my car. So I carry the laptop everywhere *

David Lawrence: You plug right in sure.

Colleen: I got an mp3 player that I can just put all the data that I want and on all the things to listen to that I want, a free program that I can compress it so I am getting up 60 hours of sound on the mp3 player. Take the cassette player the cassette thing -- with the little string that goes in your car *

David Lawrence: Yeah I love the fact that you have used the word thing. That*s a very it*s a very technical term.

Colleen: But I use that in my home, it too I just take the cassette thing and put it in my home and I can listen to my own *

David Lawrence: So let me ask you a question when you say how many people are there like me. What do you, or how are you describing me. Someone who doesn*t spend a lot of money on technology but kind of gets it all and enjoys it without you know betting the farm?

Colleen: Yeah I have found a way to make it work for me in every aspect of my life. I even met my husband online before there was a World Wide Web.

David Lawrence: Right. I would imagine that there are quite a few people like you, but you are in the minority. And I will tell you why, right now you probably embrace technology with a little bit of fervor. I would imagine you enjoy technology, right?

Colleen: Absolutely.

David Lawrence: It*s kind of cool you know that if you can do it in your car, well hey it*s just heads rubbing against heads why wouldn*t it work on a cassette deck in my house and it does.

Colleen: Yeah.

David Lawrence: So you are open to trying new things, things click in your head logically when it comes to technology. And it is, I imagine the same thing that makes you a good hypnotist is, understanding how things work. There are some people for whom the system doesn*t really matter. All they want to know is if I do this, this, this and this and I follow the recipe then that will happen.

Colleen: That would explain why there are many things, I don*t know that but many things I do know that my programmer doesn*t know. What you just said about if I do this, this and this, this will happen and not caring about getting the entire picture just making it work for me. Thank you I hadn*t thought about that.
