How Do I Become a Digital Citizen?

I was told I was not a digital citizen but I could immigrate. WHAT?? Yah, it's true. People in my age group and older have difficulties in this digital age. It isn't intuitive as it is for those 28 years and younger.

I didn't grow up as a screenager like my granddaughters. Now days kids can handle remotes, Ipads, etc.

So how do you enter the digital country?

• Be smart get a smart phone and use it!
• Start a blog or spring clean your old blog. 
• Sign up for Twitter and start lurking around. (Send me a tweet @Carol_Johansen.)
• Start a Facebook page to promote your artwork and advertise your newsletters and workshops.
• Post a painting demo on YouTube and link it to your website or blog.
• Connect with other like minded artists on Pinterest, LinkedIn and Google+.

What do you think? Is it possible to become digitized?

Be fearless and enjoy the journey!

Am I Smart?

My kids all have smart phones. But not me. I told the girls I was just fine with my old trusty flip phone tucked neatly in my pocket for my painting excursions. Then, the newest iphone hit the shelves. Low and behold, my son decided I could have his gently abused smart phone in return for him using my cell upgrade on his family plan. It was a done deal !
