I am a lover of technology despite the
fact that it changes all the time. It is one thing that will never remain
constant... Maybe that is why I love it? All the application, software creators
put out something new, a few tweaks to their applications and software which is
a good thing due to the multitude of competition out there. I always marvel at
what comes out to help the user when it comes to software, applications and
programs.
Recently, I was reading a book using
Adobe Reader. Whenever I would start the program to continue with the book, it
would bring up a notification for an upgrade to Adobe Reader X which I would
unfortunately ignore because; I tend to read when I don't have an internet connection.
I decided to bookmark the link so as not
to forget about the upgrade. I usually bookmark websites that I visit time to
time and find interesting, links I need to check out for software upgrades and
installations.
After getting an internet subscription,
downloading Adobe Reader X was the foremost important thing on the download
agenda. The download took me half the day with a lot of frustration! It kept
bringing up a download timeout message which pissed me off because the download
speed was at its highest peak! Aside from that; power kept being ON and OFF.
Fortunately, with my last attempt at a
download; I kept my fingers crossed and prayed for a successful download with
no interruptions. The download was so successful that the smooth installation scared
me a little.
Naturally, I tried out the upgrade after
the installation and the reader in me is ecstatic. There are no words to say it
better. It comes with tools such as sticky notes and a highlighter and you can
send the document or book to anyone from the program as long as you are online.
I am much more excited about the fact
that you can leave a sticky note or highlight a portion of whatever you are
reading for future reference or remembrance. As a reader; you come across
paragraphs, quotes that speak to you whilst reading a book which you'd like to
mark for remembrance. All this was impossible for people who read soft copies
unlike paperback. The fact that it is editable without whipping out pen and
paper is pretty fantastic!
