			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I recently loaded a new software called Dragon. It is a speech recognition software that allows me to speak into a microphone and what I say is typed onto the screen of my computer. I&#8217;m using it for this post right now. Without touching a single key I am typing this message. It&#8217;s not quite as simple as it sounds but it really works.</p>
<p>Since writing does not come easily for me I&#8217;m hopeful that this new tool will encourage me to blog more often. I&#8217;m a better talker than I am a writer. I had planned to use video blogs since I began posting but to me video is not the same as writing. I seem to learn more when I&#8217;m reading than I do when I&#8217;m watching video. Hopefully, my future posts will be more frequent and conversational in style.</p>
<p>Technology can be a consuming thing. I think it&#8217;s supposed to make our life easier and more productive but the learning curve that goes along with adapting new technology can be somewhat frustrating and time-consuming. In the end it&#8217;s still your brain that has to do the work. Mine has definite limitations even with all of these newfangled gadgets.</p>
<p>Not bad though, huh?<br />
Mike</p>
