For all my talk about texting your friends and family.  It seems that most folks don't even use the text feature on their cell phones.  A recent survey found that most people don't even text.

Go figure.


Hmmm . . . I guess that is why there will be an even greater need for "Talking Technology with Leroy Jones, Jr." in the future!   :-)

Wait a minute.  Maybe I can change the name of my site.

How about . . . "Leroy Jones, Jr. the Tech Guru"!  :-)

Just think about all of the modern technology that you will be using today.


Cooking and still burning up food on your new modern gas grill.  :-)


Listening to music downloaded on your iPod that you place into your iHome.  So you can listen to all of your "old school" jams!  :-)


Calling or sending text messages to folks on your new iPhone to ask them to bring the stuff you forgot to pick up at the store yesterday. :-)


There are so many more things that will touch your life today as you celebrate this day of our country's Independence.


Just remember that the most important thing you can do today is to enjoy the day with all of your family, friends, and love ones.


HAPPY 4th of JULY!!!

Did you know that you can send your birthday wishes by text to former South African President Nelson Mandela, who is turning 90 years old this year?


They have set up international service that will allow you to express your best wishes to Mr. Mandela.


Once again proving how technology is changing how we communicate everyday.

Headset_June 2008.jpgThe debate over the possible link between cellphone use and cancer is back in the news again.  The debate is a serious one, and people are working hard on both sides to find out the truth.  As for me, I have always used a headset when using cellphones.

For me, the choice to wear one has always been more about comfort and driving safety.  If you use a headset, what type of headset do you use and why do you choose to use it?

8Track_May 2008.jpgIs it just me, but I don't have a MP-3 player.  Never mind that I am still holding out for the future return of 8-Track Tapes.  There is so much new technology that it almost impossible to include every item or gadget into your daily life.

It seems that MP-3 players are about to "get played" like my beloved 8-Track Tapes.

Kicked to the curb!  :-)

Lock_May 2008.jpgWith all of this new technology there is always someone scheming and scamming to take advantage of you. 

Just found about a scam that is based on gaining control of your Instant Messaging (IM) contact lists.  Once they gain control they begin trying to get access to all of your personal and financial information.  When I came across this story about this particular scam I wanted make sure to share it with you. 

Be safe and beware!

It seems that Filmmaker Spike Lee's next film joint will be on the cutting edge of technology.  It will be "a collaborative effort involving hundreds of cellphone users sending in snippets under three themes starting with the concept of "birth."

It should be very interesting.  :-)
